Uttarakhand Man Develops Electric Flying Car Prototype After 13 Years of Learning
Ravi Tamta, a Bachelor of Arts graduate from Uttarakhand's Almora district, developed an electric flying car prototype, HAPIDA SKYNeX, after 13 years of self-directed learning and experimentation without formal engineering education. The single-seater vehicle completed a test flight in August and features vertical take-off and landing, battery power, and a lightweight frame. Tamta's work highlights how curiosity and online resources can enable innovation beyond traditional education, though the prototype is not yet ready for commercial use or passenger transport.
