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.
