dear designboom reader,

flying cars may radically transform air transport with their street-legal and garage-friendly design and intent. switchblade, a road-legal flying car, has a pair of wings and a tail that expand and collapse to turn the vehicle into an aircraft in under 3 minutes. even model A, designed as a supercar, can take off as a flying electric vehicle and become a driving car after landing.

these forms of private vehicles aim to cut down travel time, fly away from land traffic, and reduce carbon emissions. xpeng X2, an electric flying car that has flown over dubai, imagines emission-free city travel and commute for 2 people. short flights in an eco-friendly way is also LEO coupe’s goal with its 3-seater hypercar look, propelled in the air with electric jets.

thanks for reading!
