De toekomst van vliegende auto’s

The future of flying cars is looking brighter and brighter. For less than a ton you can get the Jetson ONE: your own means of transportation through the air. The Swedish company aims to make everyone a pilot. The first model is equipped with a safety cage based on racing cars.Text: Dennis Gandasoebatra

Also, the flying car system has a ballistic parachute, so that in the event of a (motor) emergency you will land relatively calmly on the ground. Legislation permitting, you could theoretically take off from your own garden. You shouldn't take off for too long: with current battery technology, the device will last 20 flying minutes. Recharging then takes place within a reasonable hour. Each model is equipped with two backup computers, so that in case of problems with the flight computer, you can always switch to one of the backups. Target price: €92,000.

LXRY LIST 2022

The annual book LXRY List 2022 casts a glance into the distance, where new opportunities shine. Entrepreneurship with a view to a better world. For example, Rewilding Europe is committed to helping disappearing species by making space for true wild nature. And De Apostelhoeve is taking advantage of global warming by growing wine on the hills of Limburg and gaining international recognition for it. In addition to these burgeoning economies, there is also a focus on sustainable initiatives. Like Cartier's new Tank Must, a watch that runs on solar energy. And a lamp against light pollution. But the list also includes an over-the-top hotel stay at Château Versailles. Après nous, le déluge? No, but even in the new world there may be room to enjoy and experience.
