One car.Road and sky.
A four-seat vehicle that drives on public roads and takes off vertically.
The idea
It does not transform.
It simply leaves the ground.
No folding wings. No changing shape. The vehicle drives, lifts off and flies in one unchanged external configuration — because the lifting surfaces are built into the body itself.
The problem
The road stopped being the shortest way.
Traffic, detours and terrain turn forty kilometres in a straight line into a two-hour journey. Aviation solves distance but demands an airfield, a transfer and a timetable. Between the car and the aeroplane there is nothing that covers the route door to door.
In the Kingdom this is felt most sharply: Jeddah to Mecca and Medina during Hajj and Umrah, transfers between industrial clusters, delivery to hard-to-reach locations.
Illustration of the principle over 80 km. Specific routes are calculated once cruise speed is agreed.
The transition
Drive. Lift off. Fly.
One continuous sequence. The silhouette is identical in all three phases.
Drive
Public roads, four-wheel drive, all-electric with onboard generation.
Lift off
Vertically, from existing surfaces — parking lots, rooftops, freight terminals.
Fly
Transition to horizontal flight on the same airframe. Tail turbines engage above 160 km/h.
Nothing opens · Nothing extends · Nothing folds out
01 The form
A car first.
Steering wheel, two pedals, four seats, 100-litre luggage. Carbon-fibre monocoque, 27-inch wheels, adaptive four-wheel-steering suspension. At 6.2 × 2.5 × 1.9 m it parks in a standard space.
Core technology
The wings are already there.
FLYCAR uses a closed-contour double ring-wing scheme. The ring is part of the body — a permanent structural element, not a deployable surface. It carries the load in flight and never has to appear or disappear.
- Higher lift capacity at a small wingspan
- Stability in strong crosswind — take-off in gusts up to 5 m/s
- Bicopter distributed powerplant built into the fuselage
- Rotors enclosed and protected by the structure
- Active airflow guides with redundant sensors
How a flight works
The whole route, without a transfer.
Road
Driving to the take-off point on ordinary roads.
Pad
Onto an existing surface. No vertiport required.
Lift off
Vertical take-off, including in gusts up to 5 m/s.
Transition
Tail electric turbines engage above 160 km/h.
Cruise
At an altitude of 500 to 4,000 metres.
Landing
Vertical landing, then back onto the road.
Safety
A failure must not end the flight.
Active parachute system
Five rocket launchers, rapid ejection and inflation of the rescue canopy, operating at low altitude — down to 100 metres.
Triple redundancy
Key systems are duplicated. Six-phase electric motors with a fault-tolerant architecture. Multiply redundant sensors on the airflow control system.
Automation and wind
Stabilisation, navigation and obstacle avoidance. Active crosswind compensation on take-off and landing.

Confirmed by testing
Aerodynamic stability and controllability verified on the 1:4.6 model. Wind-tunnel data on thrust-to-weight ratio, vibration and thermal regimes obtained on the 1:3.6 model. Critical full-scale assemblies manufactured and validated in bench and ground testing.
Parameters for which no data yet exists are not published here: cruise speed, landing pad size, noise level, battery capacity.
Competitive position
No one combines it all.

| IP control and KSA localisation | Yes | No | No | No | No | No | No |
No existing project combines, in one aircraft, a full road mode, vertical take-off without dedicated infrastructure, payload above 400 kg, a hybrid powerplant that refuels at ordinary filling stations, and dimensions that fit city parking.

The founder’s statement is being agreed.
The story behind FLYCAR, the portrait and an agreed quotation will be added once the materials are confirmed.
Why Saudi Arabia and why now
The entry window is 12–24 months.
Vision 2030 in its final phase
Of 1,290 initiatives, complete or on schedule. 93% of KPIs met. Non-oil GDP is around 55% of real GDP.
Regulation is being written now
The AAM test site in Riyadh is operating. GACA is signing agreements with Vertical Aerospace, Joby and Archer.
Expo 2030 Riyadh
1 October 2030 to 31 March 2031. Six million m², more than 40 million visits. Just over four years to opening.
Demand confirmed by spend
Tourism 2025: about 123 million visitors. Saudia Group has ordered 50 with an option on 50 more. PIF has approved a strategy centred on aerospace.
AAM test site, Riyadh
Archer agreement with GACA

Type certificate
Market and use cases
The market already exists.
Logistics
Freight into OXAGON and between industrial clusters.
Tourism and pilgrimage
Hajj and Umrah, the Red Sea, AlUla.
Emergency services
Medical evacuation, search and rescue.
Roadmap
The schedule is anchored to external dates.
Dubai Airshow 2027 and Expo 2030 cannot be moved — the plan is built around them.
Business model
Two to two and a half times cheaper than competitors.
Standard
Commercial operators, taxi services, emergency services
Luxury
Private owners, bespoke finish
These are target economics at an output of 1,000 units per year. Unit cost on the first batches is higher.
For comparison: Lilium at $7–9m per aircraft, Joby S4 at roughly $1.2–1.5m, Archer Midnight and Vertical Valo at roughly $1–1.5m. None of them has a wheeled chassis.
Investment offer
The current round is $10.6m.
The full programme to certification and market entry is $500m across 2026–2032.
Industry benchmark: Joby, Archer and Lilium project $1.0–1.5bn to certification; Vertical Aerospace $700m. The FLYCAR programme rests on completed documentation, tested models and localisation with the Kingdom’s support.
