Uttarakhand Innovator Test-Flies Electric Flying Car Prototype in Almora
Ravi Tamta, a young innovator from Almora, Uttarakhand, has successfully test-flown HAPIDA SKYNeX, a single-seater electric flying car prototype developed under his startup Hapida Sky. Using modified drone technology, the vehicle aims to reduce a 40-km mountain journey from about 90 minutes by road to 10–15 minutes by air. The project highlights advances in personal air mobility, especially for remote and mountainous regions, and reflects years of research and experimentation by Tamta and his team.
