Honda developing flying car

Honda Motor

has revealed that it has been developing a flying car.

It plans to make the vehicle
capable of relatively long-range flights using technologies it has amassed in its business jet project.

Honda says
it has been developing electric vertical take-off and landing, or eVTOL, aircraft with the goal of launching it in 2030 or later.

Flying cars
are drawing attention as a next-generation mode of transport.

The Japanese firm says
many similar vehicles now being developed by other domestic and foreign companies have a flight range of some 100 kilometers.

But Honda says
its eVTOL will boast a range of 400 kilometers and allow transportation between cities.

Honda plans
to conduct test flights of its eVTOL in the United States as early as 2023.

The company also says
it will develop avatar robots with which their users can perform tasks and experience things remotely.

It says it is also developing
small rockets with a goal to use them as launch vehicles for low-earth orbit satellites.

It says
it is aiming to make the rockets reusable by enabling at least some of their components to land back on Earth after their launches.
