Africa’s Bizarre Macrobat Flying Car – a Bird or a Plane?

The race to create the weirdest flying taxi seems to never end.
Now, developers from a South African startup Phractyl have unveiled a hybrid bird-plane with its concept “Macrobat,” which is unlike anything that the industry had created before. With tracked feet, bird legs, a tilting cabin, and tilting wings, the aircraft promises a ‘near-vertical takeoff and landing (NVTOL),” even from unprepared terrains.
