Audi, Italdesign and Airbus presented the Pop.Up Next, the development of the flying car launched last year. This prototype combines agility of city-car with the freedom and flexibility of air-land vehicle, with vertical landing, joining automotive sector with the aerospace one. As compared to Pop.Up  2017 improvements were made in aerodynamic and internal design.
