Pegasus Is a Revolutionary Hybrid Flying Car: It Can Travel on the Highway and Fly for up to Three Hours
Pegasus' design allows it to travel on the ground at a speed of 75 mph or fly up to 6,000 feet high.
It’s a hybrid vehicle, using electric charge for ground travel and gas for flying.
Authorities in Australia have already approved it.

The issue with flying taxis is that most of them are simply modified helicopters. For instance, the vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft from Applied eVTOL Concept can fly, but their unique design means they can’t function as regular cars. That’s what makes the Pegasus-E from the Australian company Aerospace Corp so remarkable.
The Pegasus-E is a hybrid multimodal vehicle and one of the first of its kind to be put into practice. The Pegasus project began in 2009, and after several successful tests, the company presented its new design in 2021. Finally, last year, the Melbourne Police decided to adopt them and create a police version of this flying car.
