Inventor creates his own flying DRONE CAR: Amateur engineer successfully completes test flight 25ft off the ground in Philippines
- The amazing machine was built by Kyxz Mendoza from Quezon City, Philippines
- It took Kyxz six years to complete and was flown for the first time this month
- Dubbed the ‘Ultralight Aircraft’, there are now plans to mass-produce the car
This eccentric inventor has found a way to avoid traffic jams – with his own flying drone.
Kyxz Mendoza from Quezon City, Philippines, started work six years ago on his incredible flying car.
Earlier this month he completed the first successful test flight – soaring some 25ft above the ground.
Kyxz calles his flying car the ‘Ultralight Aircraft’ and he now plans to mass produce it with a two-seater version added to to the range.

He said: ‘We’ve been having bad weather so it took as a while after our deadline before we can finally show it to our followers. But after two months of tuning, here it is. I hope everyone will give this vehicle a positive reaction. This was only a dream for us five years ago.’
The aircraft has a metal frame with a carbon fibre shell and resembles the structure of a drone, only bigger.

It is powered by batteries which need two-and-a-half hours of charging time. It can then fly for 12 to 15 minutes.
Kyxz said his first designs were hoverboard style designs that he stood on and he steered with a remote control.

Inventor Kyxz said he now has plans to mass produce a two-seater version of his car if he can make it a commercial success
The design evolved and it took him and his team six years before they were able to make the vehicle fly.
Koncepto Millenya is now open for buyers and investors for the commercial distribution of Ultralight Aircraft.
Kyxz added: ‘It’s a flying car type of vehilce that uses drone technology or multi-copter technology to fly. It’s like a drone car.
‘I wanted it to be a sports car, a flying Lamborghini, maybe. The design was a trial and error process. Some materials burned up on use. Other materials didn’t quite work.
‘One of the main features is the battery redundancy system so even if one battery runs out, the aircraft can still maintain its flight.’
Kyx is the lead inventor of Koncepto Millenya, a group of enthusiasts and entrepreneurs behind the flying vehicle.
The car, entitled ‘Ultralight Aircraft’ is loosely based on the design of an unmanned drone
It is made almost entirely of ultra-light and highly strong carbon fiber and powered by batteries
