“Cartivator is organized by a group of young volunteers who work in the automotive and aviation industries as well as a startup company. Our mission is “Connecting dreams to the next generation through mobility”. Our team consists of people with diverse professional backgrounds and are working hard every weekend towards developing the flying car. We aim to build a prototype, establish theory of flight control, as well as form alliances with major corporations to make mass production of the flying car a reality.”
