Its nickname is the “Flying Tiger,” with a black and gold livery that commemorate the model launching in the Year of the Tiger. It uses battery technology for emission-free flight and an x-wing design with 8 rotors for vertical flight and 2 propellers for horizontal movement. Later this year, there will be several flight tests conducted to optimize the concept. Once the Volkswagen concept is ready for the public, the electric and automated VTOL craft is said to be able to carry four passengers and luggage at a distance of over 100 miles.
