"The gyroplane principle not only provides us with a safe and easy-to-operate flying car but it also enables us to make it compact and within existing regulations, which is the most important factor to build a useable flying car," said Mike Stekelenburg, Chief Engineer at PAL-V.[1] Pilots will require a Private pilot licence) with a gyroplane rating to fly the PAL-V Liberty.

On the ground, the propeller and rotor are stopped and power is diverted to the wheels, allowing it to travel as a three-wheeled car, which will enable easier and safer take-off and landing.

In 2005, new technology by Carver provided a solution for the high center of gravity issue.

[5][6] By proving this concept, PAL-V started the design of its first commercial flying car model, based on the proven technologies.

The production model was first publicly shown at the Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland on 6 March 2018.
