The flying car is an innovative new vehicle like a personal air vehicle. This car provides door-to-door service on both ground and air. This car is designed as the ground car and as the airbus. This car is reliable and environment friendly. This car uses a motor that is working on compressed air concepts.
So many companies are interested in the innovation of air cars. The companies are:
- MDI
- Tata Motors
- Engine air pty ltd
- Peugeot/Citroen
- APUQ
Air cars are clean and easy to drive and echo friendly. Compressed air is used since the 19th century in Paris. Compressed air is a modern technique motor that is now used in modern and advanced vehicles. Compressed air motors are lightweight and low cast motors that’s why air compressed cars are not too costly.
Tech:
| Engines | Compressed air motor Tank with high pressure 31 MPa Ignited fuel Expansion |
| Storage Tanks | Carbon fiber tank Non-flammable Comparable steel tank High-pressure pump Heat exchanger |
| Energy density | Low 30MPa about 50 Wh Lead-acid battery 250-620 wh/l Gasoline at 8890 wh/l |
Advantages:
- Don’t use biocarbon or gasoline as fuel.
- Cost is become flexible due to compressed air engines.
- A cooling system is not required.
- Mufflers not used in the design
- Low self-discharge rate
- Temperature lowers due to compressed air expansion
- Energy recovery may allow due to some mechanical configuration
Disadvantages:
- Heat is necessary for some time that the heat exchanger may be problematic
- If compressed air is not working the engine stops due to the inner cooling system and icing
- Required additional energy
- Home charging is impossible
- The temperature will increase during the re-fill of compressed air
- Impossible to re-fill compressed air at home
- The speed limit is not flexible
- A compressed air motor is less efficient
