An anonymous reader quotes Futurism:
Russian defense company Kalashnikov has revealed their single-person flying car… As reported by Popular Mechanics, its body consists of a simple metal frame with a set of eight rotors used to lift it off the ground. A pair of joysticks are used to control the craft, while a set batteries found beneath the rider’s seat provide the necessary power… Using electricity makes it lighter than a craft that relies on gasoline or a diesel engine, but as noted by DefenseNews, the batteries probably only enable it to fly for about 30 minutes before it needs to land.
There’s video footage on YouTube of the flying craft lifting off.
