Flying car returns to Monaco with 180 km/h road speed
By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial
A flying car capable of 180 km/h on road and 160 km/h in the air has reappeared in Monaco, spotted on the Place du Casino.
The flying car last seen at the Fairmont Monte-Carlo nearly two years ago has made a fresh appearance in the Principality, drawing attention on the Place du Casino. The vehicle, which can reach 180 km/h on road and 160 km/h in flight, marks one of the more visible signs of Monaco's continuing interest in next-generation personal transport.
The return visit puts the aircraft-car hybrid back in public view at one of Monaco's most recognisable locations, steps from the Casino de Monte-Carlo. Whether this amounts to a commercial demonstration or a private showcase has not been confirmed, but the sighting will sharpen interest among residents and investors already watching the urban air mobility sector closely.
Monaco has positioned itself as a testing ground for advanced mobility concepts, given its compact geography and proximity to Nice Côte d'Azur Airport. A vehicle that can transition between road and air has an obvious practical appeal in a Principality where road congestion is a daily reality and helicopter transfers to the airport are already routine.
