While the vehicle was flying was still at the stage of concept the developers plan to start building the first prototype in six months.
The plan is that it should be a single seat helicopter-like vehicle that can fit into one car garage.
The company designed the cars fly, Jetpack Aviation (joints), made headlines by 2015 when they released their first turbine jet backpack-JB-9.
Now, Van Nuys, California-based company has made use of space above us to transport people.
Uber also attempted to take this space with plans to launch a flying taxi service in the future called Uber elevating.
The company is run by David Mayman, Chief Executive Officer and Nelson Tyler, Chief Designer, who shows them the jetpack test flight across the United States and Europe, and they also have recently announced that their jets available to buy now.
But the company is now working on a new project to build the first flying car is worth.
Mr. Mayman, Executive Director, told the new Atlas JPA while some other companies, such as Joby and Airbus aircraft, work
on the high-speed wing that can travel at 2-300 miles per hour (320-480 km/h), is working on a different concept.
' We are on the other side.
' We took the approach of unmanned multi rotor.
' More than anything else, because some of the technology is already proven enough.
"The lower-Speed You might be talking about 90 miles per hour (145 km/h), but the size of the factor so much less because you do not have a wing to deal with."
JPAS flying car design has six arms coming out of the top of the chassis, with the two in front, two in the middle and two on the back – with the middle ones to fold.
Mr. Mayman also said that vehicle will be low and thin enough to fit in a garage space.
Instead of the traditional landing of the downturn has designed a small ball on the bottom.
The team plans to fit the aircraft with 12 blades carbon instead of custom wood propeller, wooden props as lighter and more resistant to damage.
Mr. Mayman said the Joint Parliamentary Assembly that is to design the type of aircraft can fly close to the ground, about 2 meters (6.5 feet).
While the current design has only one seat, it can be upgraded to more if it weren't for the main problem with battery capacity is limited.
But Mr. Mayman estimates that about four years old, it can double.
But to get around that the team are looking to design a kind of electric car system with power generator on board.
They are trying to build a very small turbine engines the size of a Coke can, as they have had experience with, when they develop their jets.
This kind of machine can produce a lot of power as a generator.
In addition to the problem of battery power, said Mr. Mayman drone technology has advanced the technology of autopilot and stabilization, so much so that there is little R&D to do.
In connection with the safety device which is the team working on the basis that you could lose half of your motor and
still falling at a speed that is safe, but they are also visible in the undercarriage system, which can break down in a certain way, the ballistic parachute to slow down and airbag system cushions.
Mr. Mayman said that it would take about six months to develop the first prototype flying car, if your company has money flowing.
"We are working as if it were a two-dimensional world travel in this series, car after car after car, ' he said.
"All air space above this we really unused between 100 and 1,000 feet.
"One day will be used.
"We have plans to be a part of it."
