The successful prototype flight follows years of research and development and represents a key milestone in Tamta’s efforts to make personal air transportation more accessible.Unlike conventional aircraft that depend on aviation fuel, HAPIDA SKYNeX is designed to run entirely on electricity. The vehicle is being developed as a zero-tailpipe-emission alternative to conventional modes of transportation and aims to combine personal mobility with sustainable technology.Behind the making of the ‘flying car’Tamta shared a video on Instagram, giving glimpses of the behind-the-scenes of the device being made. The project is focused on making personal air transportation safe, affordable, and environmentally sustainable.In the video, Tamta said he received several calls from people wanting to see the flying car. “After the successful demonstration of the flying car, I couldn’t speak to the media person. Now, the Almora government is managing the demonstrations and media. I’m free now, and here I am sharing a video on social media. I would like to congratulate the entire nation for this achievement,” he said.
