An AeroMobil flying car prototype sustained damage in a forced landing following activation of the ballistic parachute recovery system. The system was activated at an altitude of about 300 m. Pilot luckily escaped just with minor scratches.
Causes of the air incident
- Incorrect speedometer reading due to static pressure extraction from the AeroMobile cabin during flight,
- the rear centre of gravity configuration of the AeroMobile due to the test flight was more sensitive to crash characteristics,
- for the yaw angle flight, a small stabilizing pitching moment was calculated for the full range of angles of attack,
- the relatively small wing twist increased the sensitivity to aileron sweep-off,
- atmospheric conditions at an altitude of approximately 300 m above the ground surface, flying close to stall speed and with an incorrect airspeed indicator reading, caused the AeroMobile to enter an uncontrolled left wing stall.
