Started in 1999, PAL-V Europe NV pushes the envelope with a solid gyrocopter/carver inspired design. There has not been too much information released recently as to when we can expect a working prototype. I strongly believe that gyrocopter technology is the future in a flyable car. It has been around long before the Helicopter ever took flight and it is safer than fixed wing aircraft. With gyro's the rotor is free spinning and is not powered by an engine. Thrust comes from a pusher propeller in the rear that moves the aircraft along at around 120 mph. The ability to land on a dime and not stall is something fixed wings could only dream of.
