"It is a very important milestone". PAL-V receives European authorization to manufacture "flying cars"

CNN Portugal7 September 2026 at 18:22

The company PAL-PV received European authorization to manufacture the so-called "flying cars", which is described as "a very important milestone" in the development of this type of vehicle.

To drive these vehicles, it is necessary to have both a driver's license and a pilot's license, thus combining the requirements for land and air circulation.

According to the company, the vehicles can reach 160 kilometers per hour when driving on the road and 500 kilometers per hour when in the air.
