SkyRider X2R

The SkyRider X2R was a project for flying car design developed by Macro Industries.

The SkyRider incorporates tough, lightweight composites for reduced structural weight, it utilizes four-ducted fans with wings to generate lift and maintain flight and uses control systems and onboard computers to generate a travel path to reach a destination given by voice commands.

[1][2] While still in a prototype phase[citation needed], the SkyRider is estimated to cost between $500,000 and $1 million, although price is expected to drop to $50,000 if it reaches mass production.

[3] In the early 2000s, Macro Industries planned but failed to have an operational prototype by 2005.

[4] In 2010, Macro Industries designed and proposed a militarized version of its SkyRider for the DARPA Transformer program.
