Skycars are quad tilt-rotor ducted fan flying vehicles, convenient for being able to land nearly anywhere and fit into a garage. They are common around the Verge for rapid transport, when it is more convenient to go above the terrain than through it, or just to get above the congestion.
Martínez-Henry Songbird Skycyle |
The Songbird is a typical skycyle – open-topped skycars with motorcycle-like saddle seats for passengers.
Like many skycycles, the Songbird has only three ducts - the two counter-roating fans in the front duct and single fans for the side-rear ducts.

Martínez-Henry Ansera Commuter Skypod |
Martínez-Henry's Ansera is a small, 1-person enclosed vehicle designed for commuting around the city where parking can be tight and the highways congested.
