In 2015, completed testing of a flying car AVTOL-3

 



Russia is in a leading position on the project in the development of machines vertical take-off and landing. Soon Russian citizens will be able to purchase a brand new flying car is just over 1.5 million.

Russia is in a leading position on the project in the development of the courts of vertical takeoff and landing (AVTOL — aircraft vertical take of landing), in other words, flying cars. This is the website Aircargonews.

Domestic project AVTOL (chief project engineer A. Merzlyakov And) provides three areas. AVTOL-1 is aimed at the creation of the apparatus at supersonic speed. Car brand AVTOL-2 can reach speeds of up to 800 km/h and the third unit is up to 400 km/h.





Latest air car designers are trying to make a universal and versatile. According to the project developers, the machine must be able to climb any surface, whether sand, arable land or water. It will be possible to transport cargo and passengers. Also will be created cars of this series.

In monetary terms, pre-production will cost 3 million rubles, the serial — 1.5 million rubles. Flight testing of the prototype should be completed in August next year. Currently, coordination on the selection of sites for production. In the list of cities so far, two of the regional centre — Tatarstan and Dagestan. One of them plans to assemble cars of new generation.

Currently design Bureau are negotiating with the science division of the Russian defense Ministry on projects AVTOL-1 and AVTOL-2. In their opinion, support from the state for the development of innovative projects of big scale.

"Unlike Russia, the apparatus on the American program X-Plane VTOL, under the auspices of DARPA, reaches speeds of up to 700 km/h. The test specimens have not yielded positive results. The budget of the first phase of the project has already made $ 140 million", — the publication reports.
