The battery-powered machine looks like something from a Sci-Fi movie being a completely new and unique aircraft.

The flying car has enough room for four passengers and a pilot, as reported by Luxury Auto News.

‘Midnight’ has been designed to complete back-to-back flights of 20 to 50 miles, needing minimal charging time in between.

Hour-long ground commutes can be done in minutes due to the vehicles’ high speeds of 150 miles per hour.

“Archer’s cutting-edge, proprietary electric propulsion system powers our aircraft.

“Our approach to helping transform the urban environment goes beyond the in-flight experience.

“With fully-electric propulsion and smaller rotors than helicopters, our aircraft are up to 100X quieter than a helicopter when flying at cruising altitudes, making them virtually inaudible from the streets below.”
