Milner AirCar, the flying car

In 2008, we were treated to the presentation of two functional cars the 'James Bond Car', which AirCar Milner, who comes here as a counterweight to the Rinspeed sQuba, the car underwater.

Milner Aircar was conceived by the company Milner Motors ELECTRICAR based in Washington and Vancouver. This firm founded in 2005, specializes in the conversion and processing of vehicles, a hybrid propulsion, but designed for use journaliere 95% in all electric mode.

For its part, the company Milner began to talk about it, the day it announced it's intention to design a flying car, the image of the villain Scaramanga in the James Bond film 'The Man with pistol gold, realized in 1974 where we see it flying in the air in her cup AMC Matador, in order to escape from Roger Moore, aka James Bond.

There is still a long way to go and many pitfalls to cross before this ambitious project becomes reality, but I think so far, it had never been so close to do the impossible, make a flying car. At this time, we are about to enter the PROTOTYPE mode and this phase is crucial, since it is at this stage that the project could be scuttled, or spend patent mode of acceptance notices, pre-production, production and marketing .

What a beautiful dream of owning a car-plane one day, but be careful, it will obviously not within the reach of every budget, on the contrary, because it is estimated that we will have to pay around $ 450,000 to wear purchaser this small wonder.
