Advance flying vehicle, capable of rising to 10,000 feet and reaching speeds of 290 mph, is planned for market debut this year.
Prepare for the Future: The Sigma Flying Car is Almost Here!
Get ready to kick public transport to the curb and soar above traffic jams like never before! The Sigma, a cutting-edge eVTOL (electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing) vehicle, is about to be unleashed, transforming the way we travel.

The genius minds at aerospace startup AltoVolo have crafted the Sigma to reach jaw-dropping speeds of 290 miles per hour. Designed for quick and straightforward point-to-point travel, the Sigma aims to eliminate the frustration of traditional commuting.
Setting foot inside this marvel, all you'll need to do is push a button, and before you know it, you'll be cruising over your neighborhood, far from the clutches of traffic.
The Sigma's patent-pending tilting jet propulsion system harnesses both electric battery power for takeoff and landing and a liquid fuel engine for extended distances.

Free Mobility for Everyone: The Future of Personal Transport
- Witness the future of transportation become a reality, as the AirCar is set to release production vehicles. A production-ready prototype has already been introduced, marking a significant step towards revolutionizing travel.
Covering a mere 4.8 meters in width and weighing just 980 kg, the Sigma delivers a cruising speed of 220 mph. Thanks to its hybrid power system, the craft can travel up to 510 miles on a single trip, even flying in electric-only mode for 260 miles.
The Sigma's ability to hover in place for 15 minutes makes it versatile for last-minute changes in plans. It can carry a payload of up to 270 kg, comfortably accommodating three passengers plus luggage. The aircraft's maximum flight altitude is a lofty 10,000 feet, and upon takeoff, it operates at a mere 65 to 70 decibels – quieter than the hum of a lawnmower.
In emergencies, the Sigma can maintain flight even if one of its jet units fails. If things go awry, a built-in ballistic parachute system can deploy from as low as 50 feet, providing an unparalleled level of safety for an aircraft of its size.
Dr. Richard E. Brown of Sophrodyne Aerospace has independently reviewed and validated the Sigma's flight systems. Its simulations have been powered by engineering software from Ansys – the same high-performance tools used by Formula 1 racing teams.
AltoVolo has successfully flight-tested a scale prototype and is accelerating the development of a full-scale demonstrator featuring autonomous flight systems by Embention. Interested customers can reserve a spot on the waitlist this July!
The AirCar, another pioneering flying vehicle, already boasts impressive test flight results – with over 170 hours of flight time and 500 takeoffs and landings logged. AirCar claims that its innovative motor can transition from road vehicle to aircraft "in less than two minutes."
Jeremy Clarkson, renowned host of Amazon's The Grand Tour, once described the AirCar as “very rarely am I lost for words, but I’m lost for words" after witnessing its capabilities during a television episode. Now, AirCar is preparing for the release of its production version.
Intrigued by the future of transportation? Dive deeper into the thrilling world of flying cars! Embrace the freedom and versatility that the Sigma and AirCar have to offer. The skies are no longer just for the birds – they're for you!
