Pegasus E Unveiled: The World’s Smallest Hybrid Flying Car

In a groundbreaking leap for transportation technology, Pegasus Aerospace Corp has unveiled the Pegasus E, heralded as the world’s smallest drivable Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) flying car.

Integrates car and aircraft both functionalities

This revolutionary vehicle marks a transformative era in urban mobility, seamlessly blending the functionalities of a car and an aircraft to tackle modern transportation challenges head-on.

At the heart of its innovation lies a hybrid power system: conventional unleaded gasoline fuels its flight capabilities, while electric power drives its functionality on roads. This dual-power setup not only ensures environmental sustainability but also provides a robust operational range.

It has Automatic folding rotor blades

The Pegasus E boasts a flight endurance of three hours with a top airspeed of 160 km/h (100 mph), complemented by a ground speed of 120 km/h (75 mph). This versatility is further enhanced by automatic folding rotor blades that optimize aerodynamics and ensure safety during flight, promising a smooth transition between air and land.

Crafted from aircraft-grade materials such as 6061 and 7075 T6 aluminum, certified 4130 Chromoly steel tubes, and advanced prepreg carbon fiber, the Pegasus E combines structural integrity with a lightweight design essential for efficient flight.

Certified as airworthy by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) in Australia, it meets stringent safety standards, crucial for its integration into urban airspace environments.

The Pegasus E’s capabilities extend beyond mere transport; it introduces a vision for urban air mobility hubs and lays the foundation for a nationwide air taxi network in the United States.

Leveraging existing airports and suitable locations across 57 cities, Pegasus Aerospace Corp aims to revolutionize short-haul air transportation, offering efficient and sustainable mobility solutions.
