TEAB: a vertically rising fantasievoertuig to all your air castles to visit.
It is 2015. The year of the hoverboard and zelfstrikkende Nikes. But a decent flying car can buy? HO BUT. A utopia in which you with a car files, you can fly currently remains exactly that: a utopia. Nevertheless, there are numerous businesses who believe that they are really flying cars to build. Of Terrafugia to the AeroMobil. But they, too, will end up where it was in the eighties created Sky Innovations will end up: on the ground.
Sky Innovations, was founded by four Boeing employees, were numerous investors that they are the ultimate flying car that could: the Sky Commuter. With six million dollars of investments they gave shape to a futuristic-looking car with the looks of a fighter jet. Complete with joystick operation, a dome, and gas turbines that the necessary thrust to ensure.
According to Sky Innovations they are with a prototype – of which there are three in total made – actually in the air. Something that, incidentally, they have never substantiated with evidence in the form of photos or videos. The claim that the Sky Commuter has a top speed of 136 km/h in the air could get, over a range of 360 km, we will never be able to verify.
Unless you believe in the dream of the now defunct Sky Innovations, and even this prototype of the air in think to get. Soon the only remaining Sky Commuter under the hammer of auctioneers Barret-Jackson. In other words: a conceptual vliegauto that does not work, but nevertheless there are numerous investors knew to convince. Something for you, Vic?
