Kyxz Mendoza, living in Quezon, Philippines, and his team successfully tested a single-seat flying car that looks like a large drone.SunHe flew the car up to about 7.6 meters and landed safely.

Mendoza began work on the car six years ago. Bad weather delayed testing. “I hope people will have a positive reaction to the new vehicle,” he said.

Mendoza calls it an “ultralight aircraft” and hopes to mass-produce it. He also plans to build a two-seater version. “It’s a vehicle that uses drone or multirotor technology to take off. It’s like a hybrid drone car,” he explains.

The car has a metal frame and a shell made of ultra-light carbon material. The battery on the car is enough for a 12-15 minute flight and takes 2.5 hours to fully charge. The cost of making this type of vehicle is about 615 USD. Mendoza hopes to find investors and buyers soon.
