French industrial and automotive designer Jonathan Mahieddine has created quite a stir on numerous popular tech-oriented websites with his Honda Fuzo, a futuristic design for a flying car.
The young, creative designer envisions the Fuzo as a lightweight and sturdy vehicle — thanks to extensive use of Kevlar, carbon fiber and carbon nanotubes
— that would be capable of traveling through the air at a top speed of 350 mph, thanks to four powerful turbine engines. It would also be able to take off and land vertically, like Britain’s famous Harrier jump jet and the U.S. military’s own V-22 Osprey. What’s more, upon landing, the Fuzo would extend its retractable wheels and tool around town like a normal automobile.
So my friend Oliver managed to screw his Digicam on his helmet and now he’s posting his laps and practices on youtube. Here are some of the uploaded videos.
