A.K. Vishwanath has spent 16 years working on the flying car, which created a stir at the Aero India 2011 air show
Indian inventor, A.K. Vishwanath, has claimed to have made a flying car from an ordinary 800cc Maruti car.
The car was developed by Vishwanath's company, B'Lorean, named after his home of Bangalore and the winged DeLorean sports car of the 1980s, famously used as a time machine in Hollywood's Back To The Future series of films.
The 52-year-old claims his inspiration for the concept car came from flying bees.
He has told reporters that the flying Maruti car is powered initially by an electrical generator, after which its engine pumps out so-called 'energy flows' which provide lift-off and cruising.
The car has rotor blades affixed to the roof with extended wheel arches creating a 'vacuum section.'
Vishwanath has spent 16 years working on the flying car, on which he has garnered 40 patents.
However, the car which has undergone numerous testing in wind tunnels has not actually flown, leaving many skeptical about its potential.
Nevertheless, the flying car became the star attraction at the Aero India 2011 air show in Bangalore recently.
It was not allowed to take flight since it is still awaiting certification ...Rwad the rest at:
