Boeing & Porsche Flyng Car
New Partnership for 2020 Prototype
Electric VTOL Vehicle
US airplane manufacture Boeing and VW's luxury sports car unit Porsche are joining forces to develop an electric flying vehicle. The goal is to develop a vehicle that can transport people in urban locations. The team will operate out of the US, Germany and Switzerland.
VTOL
The team is focused on a prototype for an electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicle. Essentially the flying car would take off and land like a helicopter. Porsche says it's moving into the "third dimension of travel" - flying - by becoming "a leading brand for premier mobility".
2-Seater
The vehicle will be a 2-seater to start and will include different flight modes from manual to autonomous. Boeing and Porsche expect to present a fully developed prototype in 2020. Porsche believes this form of urban mobility will really gather steam from 2025 onwards. And, it's already a very hot sector with Daimler, Airbus and other global players developing new vehicles for takeoff.
