PAL-V Liberty flying car regulatory approval
Overview
Dutch company PAL-V has obtained Production Organisation Approval (POA) from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) for its Liberty flying car. This certification enables the company to manufacture aviation products on an industrial scale under European regulations.
The Liberty is a three-wheeled hybrid vehicle designed to function as both a road car and a compact gyrocopter. While it is road-legal, it requires a runway for takeoff and landing rather than vertical takeoff capabilities. The vehicle features a flight speed of approximately 180 km/h and a flight duration of over four hours.
With approximately 250 units already ordered—roughly half of which are for emergency services such as fire departments—PAL-V aims to deliver its first fully certified units by 2028. The company still requires a separate type certificate to meet all safety and technical standards for flight, a process expected to take about 1.5 years.
