What it's like to drive and fly a flying car has been revealed by test driver, as they're set to hit the market sooner rather than later

The test driver who has flown inside a flying car has revealed what it was like.

There are a lot of flying cars being promised, but none have yet been rolled out en masse as of yet.

One such vehicle is the PAL-V Liberty, a three-wheeled car-helicopter hybrid.

Motoring YouTuber Petrol Ped got to test drive it back in 2023, and this is what he made of it.

What it was like to be inside this flying car, according to its test driver

Speaking of his time in the PAL-V Liberty, Ped emphasized how delicate the whole process felt.

“It’s so sensitive… you can feel the aircraft moving underneath you,” he said.

He described it all as an ‘unbelievable experience’, which is totally understandable.

Then there was the journalist from The Wall Street Journal who test drove a flying car earlier this month.

Dan Neil declared of the Pivotal BlackFly:

“What makes the BlackFly disruptively like an automobile isn’t the range (20 minutes) or top speed (55 knots, per FAA rules).

“It’s the accessibility.

“By virtue of its human-factors engineering and flight-control automation, the BlackFly can be mastered by almost anyone with a few days’ training, roughly comparable to the requirements for a driver’s license.”

Describing himself as having not having particularly good eyesight, Neil highlighted how accessible and easy the air vehicle was to use for him.

Where we’re going, we don’t need roads

Flying cars were once thought to be the domain of science fiction movies like Back to the Future 2.

Admittedly, that movie also said we’d have them by 2015, and we’re about 10 years overdue at this point.

But we’ve certainly seen an uptick in companies wanting to make the first widely available airborne car.

There’s the Samson Sky Switchblade, set to be faster than most supercars.

And how about Xpeng’s flying car, which already has 600 orders from the Middle East?

It’s all to play for, and with Klein Vision’s AirCar projected to be released in 2026, what was once a fantasy could very soon become a reality.

The future is here, and it’s in the skies.
