This Uttarakhand youth built a flying car. Watch it take off in Almora

A 40-kilometre drive that normally eats up an hour and a half from his village to his home could soon take just 10 minutes, in the air. Ravi Tamta, an innovator from Kaflikhan village in Almora, Uttarakhand, has successfully test-flown a single-seater flying car of his own making on an open ground in Almora. He built the machine, a modified and upgraded version of drone technology, under his own startup, Hapida Sky, and has named it the HAPIDA SKYNEX Prototype. Videos of the flight are now spreading across social media.
