It’s effectively a gyrocopter aircraft with two engines. The flying car is powered by two Rotax engines, which develop a maximum power of 200hp each. The power-plant enables the vehicle to reach a speed of up to 100km/h within nine seconds.
PAL-V Liberty burns Euro 95, Euro 98, E10 fuels and has a maximum fuel capacity of 100l. An unpowered large rotor on top creates lift, while an engine-powered blade at the rear provides thrust. The vehicle can run at a maximum speed of 160km/h on road and attain a maximum air speed of 180km/h. It requires a take-off distance of 330m and a landing distance of 30m.
