Russian former pilot Valery Bulgakov transforms a "speed car"


The "speed car" was transformed from the ZAZ Tavria car in the 1980s. The doors and front cover were replaced with lighter materials, and cantilevered wings were added on both sides of the car.


For those who want to experience the feeling of driving a plane, high training fees often make them discouraged, but this problem may soon be resolved. An elderly Russian has recently developed a cheap "speed car" that is suitable for young people who have aspirations to practice taking off and landing.

According to the British "Daily Mail" reported on August 17, the old man named Valery Bulgakov, who is 72 years old, was previously a pilot. He adapted a ZAZ Tavria car from the 1980s to replace the door and front cover with lighter materials and add four cantilevered wings on both sides. This piece was made "in a fit together." Speed, and have applied for a patent for this.

Although Bulgakov's work looks a bit rough, it can really fly, but it doesn't fly too far or far. When the ground speed reaches 60 miles per hour (about 97 kilometers), it will vacate and the takeoff process takes only 20 seconds. However, the maximum height of the flight is only 10 feet (about 3 meters), and can only fly up to 600 feet (about 183 meters) away.

Bulgakov's original intention was not to make it a true aircraft, but to provide an economical choice for students who take off and land. At present, he does not intend to bring his invention to market, but took it with him to participate in an auto show in Moscow.
