Filatov Design Bureau has unveiled an innovative concept for a flying vehicle called the IF-9, a new take on the future of transportation.

With the rising interest in flying cars, many automakers have been exploring ways to bring this vision to life.

Now, Filatov is joining the race, offering their own unique design for this cutting-edge mode of transport.

A Fusion of Car and Quadrocopter

The IF-9 combines the functionality of a car with the versatility of a quadcopter.

Equipped with wheels for ground travel, the vehicle also features four retractable propellers positioned at the corners of the body, allowing it to take flight when needed.

For ground driving, the propellers fold into special compartments to enhance the vehicle’s aerodynamics and efficiency.

Eco-Friendly and Futuristic

Filatov is committed to sustainability, with the IF-9 designed to run on either electricity or hydrogen, making it an environmentally friendly option for the future.

The goal is to reduce the carbon footprint while providing a modern solution to personal transportation.

Advanced Safety Features

Safety is a key aspect of the IF-9 design. In the event of an emergency, the driver’s cabin can detach from the vehicle and land independently with the help of two parachutes.

Moreover, the two-seater cabin is equipped with a speed-damping system to ensure a smooth and safe landing during ejection.

Moving Forward with Flight Tests and Investment Needs

The Filatov Design Bureau plans to begin unmanned flight tests for the IF-9 prototype soon.

However, the project requires external investment to bring this groundbreaking vehicle to life.

With continued development, the IF-9 could very well be a glimpse into the future of transportation.
