A Dutch-made flying car called the PAL-V Liberty aims to offer drivers the complete freedom to choose when to hit the road and when to take to the air. It went on display at the Geneva International Motor Show on Tuesday. The three-wheel vehicle doubles as a gyrocopter, deploying fully-retractable rotors. The PAL V Liberty will use one engine for road driving and a separate one for flying. It's actually certified to fly under the rules of both the EASA in Europe and the FAA in the U.S., and complies with road safety regulations. PAL-V hopes the car will take-off, once it secures full certification in 2019.
