Parajet Skycar

It utilises a paramotor and a Paramania ParaWing (a parafoil) attached to a roadworthy vehicle to achieve sustained level flight.

An expedition team led by Neil Laughton set out on 15 January 2009 to fly and drive the SkyCar from London to Timbuktu.

Neil Laughton managed to fly across the Straits of Gibraltar damaging the car on landing in Morocco.

The flying portion of the expedition eventually ended when inventor Gilo Cardozo crashed into a tree in the sparsely vegetated desert while attempting to take-off for a third flight.

The team deemed the expedition successfully completed on 25 February 2009 and returned the Skycar to Wiltshire, England.
