MSL announces 4-passenger future hydrogen-powered VTOL flying car
Metro Skyways Ltd. (MSL), a subsidiary of Urban Aeronautics, plans to
launch the design and development of a four-passenger, vertical takeoff and
landing (VTOL) flying car based on Urban Aeronautics' internal rotor, Fancraft
technology. The vehicle will initially be powered by jet fuel, but will be
designed from the outset to convert to liquid hydrogen and eventually also to
700 bar compressed hydrogen, once such options become commercially feasible.
MSL was established by Urban Aeronautics in 2013 to focus exclusively
on developing Fancraft for the manned, civil market. MSL will develop the
CityHawk under a license to utilize UrbanAero's 39 patents covering all aspects
of Fancraft technology.
CityHawk will be designed to meet Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) and European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) certification standards for
manned VTOL aircraft. CityHawk is unique in combining a compact, car-sized
design that has a four-passenger capacity, no exposed rotors or wings, no
batteries and potential for zero carbon emissions. Hydrogen's only byproduct is
pure H2O.
