Why Was This Flying Vehicle Developed? 

News18 reported that Ravi Tamta came up with this unique vehicle after looking at the challenges of travelling in the hills. A 40-km road trip from his village to his home takes around 90 minutes. But with his flying vehicle, Ravi Tamta believes the same journey could take just 10 minutes.

The successful test flight was a big moment for Ravi Tamta. After years of research, experiments and hard work, he finally saw his flying vehicle take off. He called the achievement one of the biggest moments of his career. However, HAPIDA SKYNeX is still in the prototype stage and is not ready for commercial use yet. Tamta will need more testing and development before his flying vehicle can become a part of everyday travel.
