The future of travel is here. Flying transportation is being made a reality thanks to the advanced Slovakian engineering company, AeroMobil. Officially launched at the world’s most exclusive supercar show, Top Marques Monaco, AeroMobil has accomplished a tremendous feat in both automotive and aviation industries, creating the first consumer grade aeroplane-car hybrid.

The AeroMobil Flying Car has been inspired by a desire to give customers true freedom of movement in a vehicle that is both extraordinary and exciting, while also being efficient. It is designed to offer customers the choice of all the functionality and flexibility a car and an aeroplane can provide. Its dual mode means it can cut travel times compared to traditional short haul airline flights ranging up to 1,000km as its powerful engine enables greater range and offers more efficient use of energy. The innovative vehicle is expected to go into full production in the upcoming years with the first deliveries being made to buyers by 2020.

The AeroeMobil Flying car is truly ground-breaking triumph of technical expertise, engineering and design.

Oaxaca Aerospace has unveiled its second prototype aircraft, completely designed and developed in Mexico, the Pegasus P-400T. Released at the Mexico 2017 Aerospace Fair (FAMEX 17), The P-400T has been designed to perform air support missions, reconnaissance, coordination of attacks, surveillance and advanced training exercises.

The Pegasus P-400T uses a 400-horsepower twin-turbo reciprocating engine and a variable-pitch driven propeller, which makes it more efficient compared to other aircraft used for the same missions, offering considerable savings in operating costs. Thanks to its innovative design and aerodynamic fuselage, the aircraft can reach a maximum speed of 550 km/h, a service ceiling of 24 thousand feet, a range of 2000 km and autonomy of 5 hours. It also has a reinforced retractable landing gear ideal for pilot training.

In addition to the aircraft’s official release at FAMEX 2017, Oaxaca Aerospace and The Secretariat of National Defense (SEDENA) signed a collaboration agreement aiming to boost scientific research, technology development and aeronautic innovation in the State of Oaxaca. This agreement additionally involves aircraft maintenance services, expansion and manufacturing of equipment for land support and orientation for patent registration.

The collaboration is historical achievement that will generate a great boost to the national aeronautical industry. Oaxaca Aerospace plans to complete the development of the P-400T in the first quarter of 2018 to begin with the test protocol.

 

It’s been decades since humans last orbited the moon, but Elon Musk’s aerospace manufacturer and space travel company SpaceX plans to change that. The company recently announced that two private citizens approached SpaceX about a trip to the moon for late 2018. The two potential space travelers have paid a “significant” deposit and SpaceX expects health and fitness tests along with initial training to take place this year.

There’s no word on how much the travelers will pay, nor who the two individuals are, but SpaceX also says that other flight teams are interested in similar trips – if this first voyage is successful, we could see more flights around the moon in the future.

The trip will use SpaceX’s Dragon capsules, which have designed specifically for carrying humans. An initial Dragon capsule will be sent unmanned to the International Space Station, with a manned mission following in 2018. Contracted with NASA, these will be part of four annual missions to the International Space Station. After testing completes, the trip will take off from Kennedy Space Center, the same pad used to launch the Apollo missions more than 45 years ago.

Stunning, intricately designed, lightweight and bursting with technical innovation and stylistic changes, the Ottantasei Flying Tourbillon Blue and Bronze Edition is the most recent timepiece added to the prestigious collection between watchmaker BOVET and legendary Italian design studio Pininfarina.

Now available in two new cases, the Ottanasei is adorned with sapphire crystals machined in grade 5 titanium for ever-greater lightness. And for a touch of sublime elegance, their surfaces have been embellished with either bronze or blue PVD treatments. The stylistic evolution is paired with an important technical innovation granting 10-day power reserve driven by a single barrel.

A limited edition of only 86 movements will be produced in total (all models combined). The widespread popularity of the Pininfarina collection—and of the Ottantasei Tourbillon in particular—suggest that these newest additions to this exclusive series will barely suffice to meet the exceptionally high demand for this truly extraordinary timepiece.

Performance includes a maximum speed in excess 340 kph (211 mph) and a 0-100 kmph time of just 2.9 seconds.

The 812 Superfast is aimed at clients demanding the most powerful and exclusive Ferrari in the range: an uncompromising sports car that will deliver exhilarating driving both on road and track, yet also be comfortable enough to allow its owners to enjoy it as an all-round experience.

Forget everything you know about submarines: the Super Falcon Mark II leverages the principle and dynamics of flight by incorporating a patented inverted-winged design. It is the underwater equivalent of an airplane. Diving the Super Falcon Mark II to connect with the blue is a radically different experience than the conventional submarine.

THE LEAR JET 70 can reach a smooth-sailing max altitude of 45,000 feet, and its range of 2,060 nautical miles is practically transcontinental. Along with a lower weight than the model it’s replacing (by some 200 pounds), the new eight-seater will be one of the first aircraft to feature Garmin’s latest cockpit layout – the top-end G5000, with its array of 14- and 5.7-inch touchscreen panels.
