Flying DeLorean is the Stuff of Dreams

Blah, blah, blah, where this DeLorean goes, it won’t need roads.

We’ve all heard that line ad nauseum, and it’s finally come true – though it won’t quite resemble the flying car from Back to the Future.

While it’s not exactly a car, the DeLorean Aerospace SR-7 is “built like a Formula 1 racecar … for the sky.” As such, it has a carbon composite low-drag body with tandem seating and a sleek design that looks more like a Ferrari than a Cessna.

The SR-7 is a VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) aircraft, with two 360-degree thrust-vectoring electric ducted fan units and the ability to hover or fly. The all-electric craft sports a range of 120 miles, with a top speed of 240 miles per hour.

And DeLorean is aiming for the average consumer.

“For generations we have been promised a future of exciting options for sky travel, yet in the past century aircraft designs have changed little, with the best choices far out of reach for all but a select few military aviators or the extremely wealthy,” claims the company.

“We aren’t targeting only general aviation customers,” said Paul DeLorean, nephew of the original John DeLorean. “We see much broader market potential.”

DeLorean Aerospace hopes to have their prototype completed within the next year.
