  New Personal eVTOL Z2 by Zeva Aero                                                  Source:  Zeva Aero Your Next Ride to Work Tacoma, Washington based Zeva Aero's new electric vertical take-off and landing vehicle Z2 is a personal aircraft designed for personal commuting, cargo deliveries, military operations and search and rescue missions.  The vehicle has some unique capabilities including the capacity to park itself on the side of buildings so that the passengers can go in and out of the building onto the eVTOL through a window.   This is Zeva Aero's second prototype flying taxi after Zeva Aero's Zeva Zero.  Z2 is larger, faster, more efficient with bigger propellers.  This prototype should be ready for further development by the end of 2022.  Tech Specs Z2 has four rotors.  The range is 50 mph and top speed is 160 mph. The blended wing configuration of the aircraft makes it look like a flying saucer when it hovers or is flying on its side.  It tilts forward for forwar

New Solar Car Designed Like Flying Saucer

  UC Berkeley Students' Solar Car Zephyr                                                                      Source:  UC Berkeley Heading into Road Race Competition at the American Solar Challenge Engineering students at UC Berkeley have built a road-ready, registered solar car called Zephyr.  To say the least, the vehicle is eye-catching.  It closely resembles a flying saucer.  But, it is a fully functional solar/electric powered car. Zephyr has been cleared for driving and has a California license plate.  The UC Berkeley student inventors are putting Zephyr into national competition.  It's heading for the 5 day, 1,000 mile road race between Independence, Missouri and Las Vegas, N.M. called the American Solar Challenge, which is a race among solar cars for their solar power endurance. Unique & One-of-a-Kind One of the creators, recent graduate Alexander Zerkle, says that the EV "is a hand-made, unique, one-of-a-kind car".  He says it looks like a flying saucer b

Terrestrial Flying Saucer - New Aviation Tech

Flying Romanian Style Source:  ADIFO Romania Inventor Says Could Revolutionize the Way We Fly It's called the ADIFO, the All Directional Flying Object, created by Romanian engineer Razvan Sabie.  The saucer form has been designed for maximum maneuverability. The aircraft is a hyper agile, omnidirectional, supersonic flying saucer. Unique and Innovative Disruptor The device is unique in the world.  It can travel in any direction at subsonic and supersonic speeds.  It won the International Press award and Gold Medal at the International Exhibition of Inventions in Geneva.  At the moment, it's a test model, that tested well a few weeks ago. It has a promising future to revolutionize current flight technologies.  For free Kindle borrows of books on innovation in travel, go to  amazon.com/author/ekane   ASIN: B07MY8C3HG

Rumanian Flying Saucer Technology

An ADIFO - All Directional Flying Object Source:  Bucharest Polytechnic University Not a UFO This aircraft was developed by a Rumanian aviation expert more than ten years ago.  Now a new team of Rumanian engineers have created a prototype of the flying saucer like aircraft and just successfully completed its first test flight.  It may look like a UFO but it's actually an ADIFO, an all directional flying object. Highly Mobile and Dexterous According to the engineers, the aircraft can change direction and angle in mid-air with great agility and even fly upside down.  They say the original aircraft is an extraordinary aerodynamic concept with the backing of thirty years of research behind it. Future of Aviation The prototype is a combination of motors to push it forward and rotors to rise in flight.  It's an award winning piece of innovation.  The Rumanian team behind it believe it has the potential to revolutionize aviation and has application to both manned and unm
