There are more and more personal flying vehicles. The American company ZEVA has announced the first flight tests of a full-scale prototype of the ZERO device.

"The prototype ZEVA made four flights without a crew, for a total of more than four minutes of controlled hovering, simulation of taxiing maneuvers at low speeds and limited vertical climb maneuvers. Its compact airframe is designed for one pilot and is small enough to fit in a standard car parking space. The device is designed for a cruising speed of up to 250 km/h with a range of up to 80 km, optimizing short-distance travel," the ZEVA press service said.

According to the developers, in the spring ZERO will make the first full-fledged flights with the transition to horizontal flight. The cost of the ZERO serial sample in ZEVA is estimated at "no more than $250 thousand".
