The Fusion JC7 is a 1,000 HP Flying Super Car Concept That Actually Resembles a Car

A flying car cannot be defined as a “flying car” unless it resembles a real car. That point needed to be clarified because many concepts entering the flying car competition look nothing like an actual car. That said, the Fusion JC7 is by far the closest concept we have seen that resembles an actual flying car.

Designed by Navy pilot Greg Brown from California, the JC7 is a concept flying car that he has tinkered with for the last 20 years. At present all thats availble of the JC7 are renderings which closesly resemble a supercar with the only exception being the huge rear fin. When the flying car is on the ground, the rear stabilizer folds in reducing the overall lenght of the vehicle by two feet.

The JC7 is an actual car not an eVTOL as some might imagine. It will drive normally as a car on the ground powered by twin Tesla electric motors generating 1,000 hp and 920 lb-ft of torque. This will enable the JC7 to achieve 0 to 60 mph in under four seconds with a range of 150 miles.

In flying mode, with its wings extended, the car generates 2,000 pounds of thrust from its twin Williams FJ-33 jet engines. With that amount of thrust it will go from 0 to 140 mph in six seconds and cruise at 520 mph with an overall flying range of 750 miles on a full 300 gallon fuel tank.

The JC7 is currently only a concept that is still in testing and design stages. Brown esimates a fully functionng prototype will cost anywhere north of $20 million to develop. If it ever becomes a production flying car, Brown expects to recoup that investment by pricing it at $2.5 million per unit.
