‘Flying car’: This Uttarakhand man built a flying car that needs no fuel

‘Flying car’: This Uttarakhand man built a flying car that needs no fuel

Ravi Tamta, an innovator from Almora district in Uttarakhand, has demonstrated a self-built electric flying car named HAPIDA SKYNeX. The single-seat, all-electric craft uses modified drone technology for personal sky mobility. The vehicle, developed by Tamta's startup Hapida Sky Private Limited, represents a milestone in his efforts to provide accessible personal air transportation.

Unlike traditional aircraft reliant on aviation fuel, the HAPIDA SKYNeX operates solely on electricity, offering a zero-tailpipe-emission alternative. Tamta shared a video showcasing the development process on Instagram, receiving numerous inquiries from people eager to see the flying car. Following the successful demonstration, the Almora government is now handling demonstrations and media coverage, allowing Tamta to focus on sharing the achievement on social media.
