was patented. The proof of concept prototype started flight and drive testing in 2012, proofing technical feasibility but also certifiability within the existing legal framework. The combination of flying and driving changes private flying into a useful mobility solution, disrupting the private flying market.

Its Liberty platform can be easily adapted to hybrid and full electric solutions once the technology matures. The companies order book is growing and the first customers are training for their flight license. PAL-V has built its first production models in its assembly facility and is in the final stage of certification.
