Asynsis Design Director Nigel Reading and leading Car and Industrial Designer Chris Ebbert combine to bring our latest SynPlexity-design vision for flying cars to the world, named after the legendary Khmer angels of Angkor – APSARA.

It combines several optimisations, including:

1. Combining Wheels and Fans, with flight-retractable Skis

2. Single Electric Power-train for both Wheels and Fans, optimising weight-power efficiency

3. Articulated Wing-Arms to allow VTOL from tight spaces including traffic jams and open to sky carparking spaces

4. Fully autonomous drone navigation with GPS-integration in flight mode, same for Road mode with manual override, allows for 4-wheel drive all-terrain mode with high wheel-base

5. Over-roof fan positioning in flight mode for optimal flight performance, occupant comfort and view visibility.

6. Ultra-light weight and high-strength composite material body

7. State of the art battery technology

8. Full standard SUV pax and goods loading capacity, safety features including airbags, marine floatbags and roof-mounted  vehicle-parachutes.
