Parajet SkyCar


Last Weekend the Sunday Times featured an article on Parajet's latest innovation, the SkyCar. The SkyCar has been designed by Giles Cardozo, the Managing Director of Parajet, with the aim of travelling from London to Timbuktu in January 2009. The SkyCar is a modified RAGE dune buggy with the ability to do 0-60mph in 4.2 seconds on the ground and 80mph in the air. Powered by a large 3 blade propeller in flight the SkyCar uses a specially modified Paramania Powerglider which is controlled via two foot pedals as opposed to the usual hand toggles. SkySchool hopes to one day offer specialised training for these hybrid craft and supports this exciting venture 100%. For further information visit www.parajet.com or find both Parajet and SkySchool on stand 56 at the NEC Sports and Leisure Aviation show on the 29th and 30th November.
