From England to Timbuktu in a Flying Car
Gilo Cardozo, a paramotor manufacturer (picture a parachute with a giant fan) had the notion four years back to attach a paramotor assembly to a car.
The result, he’s about to take halfway around the world. The vehicle is a modified Rage Motorsport off-road racing buggy, and flies at speeds up to 80mph. With chief pilot and expedition organiser Neil Laughton, Cardozo will fly and drive the two-seater more than 3,700 miles to Timbuktu. Setting off on January 14, they will take about 40 days to reach the city in Mali, west Africa.
Somehow, it’s … different than I’d pictured. But hey, flying car!
