Russian flying sedan "IF 9" is being prepared for testing

The car is equipped with a safe cabin, like in Formula 1

The Russian design bureau (DKB) "Filatov" shared details about a new project — the flying sedan "IF 9". The head of the bureau, Ivan Filatov, said that the developers are focused on creating the safest possible car of the future.

Engineers have created a special cabin-capsule with a safety system for passengers.

This solution required a special seating arrangement for the driver and passenger. The only way out was to place the seats one behind the other.

In the event of an emergency, the cabin shoots upwards due to pyrotechnic cartridges. Then the parachutes open. As it approaches the surface of the earth, a speed damping system is activated.

We spied the option with this capsule from the bolides that participate in Formula 1 races. So far, it is designed to accommodate two people, but we are working on and have already patented a four-seater version as well.

Flight tests of the prototype flying sedan "IF 9" will begin in the near future.

Earlier www1.ru reported that a unique flying car IF-9 was presented in Russia.
