Dubai's Aviterra orders over 100 flying cars
PAL-V has received an investment deal and an order for over 100 of its Liberty flying vehicles from Dubai-based company Aviterra.

Aviterra, an aviation and aerospace component manufacturing company, aim to bring flying cars to the Middle East and Africa through this partnership.
The company envision that its customers can ‘FlyDrive’ themselves door-to-door in the PAL-V Liberty, or use their services.
“The PAL-V is the perfect tool for our customers’ regional travel requirements, offering a combination of flying and driving. It’s truly an innovation that will change mobility as we know it,” said Mouhanad Wadaa, managing director of Aviterra, in a statement.
The Pal-V (personal air and land vehicle) Liberty is the world’s first ‘real flying car,’ according to Netherlands-headquartered PAL-V, due to the working combination of a gyroplane and a car.
The vehicle has small, fixed wings and a rear propellor to push it forward, which are stored away on the roof and in the back of the vehicle when the vehicle is on the road.
When in drive mode, the three-wheeled, two-person vehicle can reach a top speed of 100mph and has a land range of 800 miles. As an aircraft, it has a flight range of between 400 – 500km, a maximum speed of around 111mph and can reach an altitude of 11,000 feet.
