Electric Car Flies Using Rocket Control Systems
Tesla has unveiled a new generation of its electric Roadster sports car, which can accelerate faster than most racing cars and even leave the ground for a few seconds. The car’s flight capabilities rely on technologies related to the control systems used in SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rockets. According to the developers, the key component is a system of ten thruster nozzles using compressed air, similar to those used in the aerospace industry. The car was demonstrated at SpaceX’s rocket testing facility in McGregor, Texas, and production is scheduled to begin in 2028. This development was first reported by Unknown Source.
