From a distance it looks like a vehicle built for the road, albeit a
slightly unusual one. But on a straight stretch of tarmac or grass this
machine transforms, giving it the ability to take to the skies. The
PAL-V took its maiden flight in March, and is certified for the air as
well as the road. It needs only 165 metres to take off and, depending on
weight, can fly for up to 500 kilometres, or 315 miles.
