Hello Paul,

enclosed you can find an abstract of the Pal-V website. Price shall be at
circa 500.000 $ ...

The picture (screen capture of a video) shows a prototype of Mazda. The
"2002 ..." is a floating text in japanese, including "RX-7", "450" hp,
"16x", "2017" ...

Now to the most interesting detail: the license plate "LEV-M 333".
LEV > Leverkusen, there's the headquarter of Mazda in Germany. I think, this
car is more than a mockup - it's a "real" vehicle, you can drive on the road
+ on test tracks ... (?)

BTW one notice related to oil consumption. Every engine burns a bit of oil.
In "reciproces" there's often an "oil thinning" phenomenon with gasoline or
diesel, so the amount of oil in the pan Seems to be constant ...

0,5 L per 1000 km (~ half quart per ~ 630 miles) is widely accepted - no one
talks about it at BMW or ...

And formula one: since september 2017 the oil consumption is restricted to
0,9 L per 100 km (~ 0,238 US gal or ~ 1 quart per ~ 63 miles) ... ;-)


With kindest regards

A helicopter with folding blades is probably the best way to go
for a flying car but you still have a weight penalty.

I sure hope it is not a piston engine.
For a sports car, where power to weight ratio is everything,
an all aluminum turbo rotary is the ONLY WAY to go.
One small turbo for each rotor to get rapid spin up.
Or an electric motor on the turbo shaft that can be used
to spin the turbo up when the accelerator  is floored.
