I neglected to post this in my top 5. I had seen it awhile ago as it was announced in 2022 - but there isn’t really a mountain of information out there about this vehicle like the others that did make it into my post.
Let me just say it - this has to be - the Lamborghini of flying cars. The design is so stunning. Hands down, the most aesthetically pleasing flying car that I have seen to date. It looks… fast.

Unfortunately I cannot make much comment about the vehicle’s functionality at this point. From what I have read, the prototype does fly; and they show a rather unstable radio controlled version on the front page of their site. I’m willing to look past that.
They have some more general information about their ‘plan’
"Volar" is what we defined as a new category of transportation, a UAM aircraft for private use. Our volar will explore all options of intracity travel and the future lifestyle.
To live in harmony with humans and the city, we believe that a volar must fulfil the following requirements.
Features:
Vertical take-off & landing
Compact Profile
City Compatibility
Hidden Propulsion System
Environmentally Friendly
I hope progress continues to be shared on this, and that it does make it into the consumer market at some point. For now we can only dream.
