| Flying Automobile May Not be just a dream anymore!!! |
Poster: GrandPrix08
Sun Feb 28, 10 11:01 pm
I found this little article this morning posted in entirely Korean. This is the English translation I have made:
----
The flying automobile may as well be a reality in about 20 years that will be invented in Korea.
Korean Air Space Experimental Group have released a blue-print/renderring of a futuristic PAV(Personal Air Vehicle) that can be easily 'DRIVEN' as an ordinary car, on 28th of last month.
Chul ho Lim of Korean Air Space Experiment Group states that 'PAV is one area that we can develop with our own technology and hold the patent as our own. 100 billion won auto industry will convert to the PAV Industry.'
-What does the PAV look like?
The PAV that the Korean Air Space Experimental Group tries to develop is either 2 or 4 passenger automobile with wings. It can take off straight like Helicopters, and can fly freely.
PAV will be EASY enough to be driven. Ones with drivers license will have no problems operating the PAV. The average speed of the PAV will be 400 KPH and can run/fly to the maximum of 600 KPG per one tank of fuel. Its price will be most likely be a bit more than a luxury car. They are expecting to produce the PAV in around the year 2033.
-Invest of 500 billion won for 20 years
Korean Air Space Experamantal group will be spending 494.9 billion Korean won for the next 20 years to develop the core technology for the PAV in 4 stages, and wants to lead the market.
PAV vehicle will be develepped in house, and for the flying route contolling matter that cannot be developped in house, they will go for the international source.
The company states that, 'Aircraft designs and technologies are led by few developped nations, but they see, for the PAV Technologies, Korea isn't much behind, so they are confident that they can develop and lead in the market.
----
I have not translated the whole article, but that's basically what it is saying.
The source:
http://www.fnnews.com/view?ra=Sent0901m ... DateDay=28http://news.hankooki.com/lpage/economy/ ... 251370.htm
The article is entirely in Korean, so here is my English translation:
----
A new technology has been invented that automatically reports the accident in a severe crash.
An information media group in Korea, along with U D Tech in Korea, have announced the new 'SMART ACCIDENT RESCUE SYSTEM' on Feb, 24, 2010.
The new system automatically connects to the accident headquarters/agencies in the event of an impact, then they will notify the location and the details about the accident to the emergency medical center, 119(Korea's 911), and/or the driver's families.
The headquarter/agency calls the driver if he/she is concious enough to find out the details of the accident, or, if he/she is unconcious, they will measure the severity with the level of impact the vehicle received.
If this new system is installed, it allows to rescue the occupants even if they are not able to report the accident themselves due to the injury, making it easier for an immediate rescue, automatically.
The new system also has a built in lane change warning and the ability to warn the driver if he/she falls asleep during driving.
The company has been developping this new system for 2 years with the support of around 2,9 billion Korean won from the city and will be exporting this new unit to Germany's auto part manufacturers from this March.
Woo Yul Lee of U. D. Tech claims that 'This new system is a world's first and it will help greatly to rescue the driver and passengers' life in the event of a crash'.
----
Not sure if this really IS a world's first, since I've heard some similar concepts like On-Star, or what have you(Not sure if it works the same, though I do have it installed on my 08 Grand Prix, but never used it, and the free subscription is done a while back), but that is what they are claiming.
