SkyAngels Air Ambulance, an emergency medical flight service provider based in the UK, has partnered with Dutch “flying car” manufacturer PAL-V International to explore uses for its fly-and-drive vehicle in emergency response operations.
PAL-V—short for “personal air and land vehicle”—has been developing its flying car, the PAL-V Liberty, since 2008, and it has already been approved for road use in Europe. Now the company is working with the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) on airworthiness approval and is seeking type certification under special conditions for the CS-27 rules EASA published in 2021, which cover gyroplanes with a maximum takeoff weight of up to 1,000 kilograms (2,200 pounds). The company has said it expects to achieve type certification in the third quarter of 2023 and to begin delivering the vehicle to customers by the end of the year.
