Czech hybrid aircraft takes off for the first time

  • 1Minute

Zuri started developing its hybrid aircraft in 2017, and a few months ago it finally took to the skies. A number of companies are working to revolutionise transport. Not just electric cars and flying cars, but also flying vehicles that can get from one point to another in a more efficient and environmentally friendly way than today. A few years ago, a Czech company called Zuri started to develop such a machine, and the work seems to be progressing very well.

The company recently published a video of a prototype Zuri taking to the air. The test was carried out back in September with the hybrid vehicle, which is capable of vertical take-off and landing. The plane, which has a wingspan of 11 metres, climbed to a height of three metres, hovered for a short while and then landed safely.
