Although the flying car that appeared in the film Back to the Future has not really become a reality, ICON A5, an amphibious light aircraft known as "flying car", has now begun to accept reservations.
The aircraft is 7.01 meters long and 2.47 meters high, which is only the size of a truck. The whole machine is made of carbon fiber material and weighs only 686.4kg. The folding wing design is convenient for the drag of ordinary household SUVs.
The horizontal opposed four cylinder engine used has a maximum output power of 73.55 kW, a maximum cruise speed of 180 km/h, and can fly about 790 km after being filled with fuel. It is worth mentioning that the aircraft can use No. 91 gasoline as fuel.
ICON A5 is currently priced at only 197000 dollars, which is cheaper than Ferrari (one Ferrari 458 Italia costs about 250000 to 300000 dollars). Don't you plan to buy one?
