Sleepless nights at the drawing board, bloody hands at the machine in the workshop. And so year after year, decades. All for the sake of an idea. And Alexander Begak’s version is a little crazy, as happens with geniuses who are ahead of their time. Show how convenient it is to hover over traffic jams. Ride comfortably without harming the environment and even sail straight through a swamp. His inventions are like something out of fantasy books or films with flying capsule cars in the middle of skyscrapers, robotic drones delivering food and medicine to the right place. They are admired, the author is applauded at exhibitions of scientific and technological achievements. But that’s all for now. The matter has not yet reached serial production or serious support from the aircraft designer. Now, it seems, everything will change, and the master’s goal may have been achieved during his lifetime.
Serial production of Alexander Begak's transforming cars is planned to be established in Abkhazia. The republic also became interested in unmanned vehicles, which were developed by an aircraft designer and inventor from Stavropol. Abkhazia is ready to provide test sites for testing the master’s beguns and in every possible way contribute to the organization of production of the transport of the future.
“The development of a plant for 1,000 cars is quite possible. At the first stage, this will include cargo transportation and security work. Unmanned vehicles will deliver medicine, food, and cargo, including to remote mountainous places. The second stage, the platform runs in the form of urban transport airmobiles will be used in the tourism area. For example, in such a large center as Sukhum. We will try to create a unique, unprecedented platform that will show at the world level what else is good about Abkhazia,” says Alexander Begak.
The most comfortable conditions and the same legislative framework have been created for investors in Abkhazia. Among the advantages are preferences in taxation. The head of the city of Sukhum, Beslan Eshba, at a meeting with the delegation of the Pyatigorsk Chamber of Commerce and Industry, noted that the region is interested in creating joint enterprises with Russia. They also discussed the use of Alexander Begak’s inventions as low-cost, electric urban transport.
“We are ready to cooperate. As you know, we do not have much of our own production; we are aimed precisely at attracting investments and partners to create our own production. We have signed many documents with the Russian Federation on promoting and protecting the rights of investors. We have a law on investment activities. If a person is really determined to organize a business or look for a sales market, Abkhazia in this sense is immediately clear to any entrepreneur. Here there is no need to win back the market or to force anyone out of the market, or to deal with pricing policy - to stifle dumping. We are, in fact, a trade and economic country. We only trade by and large, we produce little. Any more or less organized production immediately justifies itself. If only there is a desire, all this can be organized. It really is like this and no other way,” says Beslan Eshba.
Alexander’s creative laboratory in Pyatigorsk is literally filled with unusual equipment of his own invention. Runaways, drones, all-terrain vehicles, more than 30 different models in total. According to the master, each model is improved and better than the previous one. It cannot be otherwise. The pinnacle of all Alexander Begak’s innovations is PCJ BEGAERO. Air taxi prototype with vertical take-off and landing. It can fly over the city at low altitude - literally above traffic flows. Such a machine will change the life of all mankind, the innovator is sure. The aircraft is capable of reaching speeds of up to 600 kilometers per hour and transporting cargo weighing half a ton. New transport can become an indispensable assistant during emergencies. The cabin is equipped with everything necessary to save a person.
“The uniqueness of this device is that it can be controlled without wing mechanization during horizontal flight. It has a new aerodynamic air flow control scheme. This is a fully functioning prototype and can be scaled up. It is lifted by screws and flies horizontally on a special turbine. This is our know-how. There is also a child of the pandemic, GreenFly New. It is equipped with everything you need to move around the city. But the most important thing is that it does not require registration, like an electric bicycle,” says Alexander Begak.
Another invention is Triton. The car floats and easily copes with off-road conditions, walking through shallow water and mud. At the same time, it is completely electric. On one charge it will travel more than 100 kilometers. In case of flooding, it will save lives. Good for family trips too.
“Of course, I would like to give my equipment a ride, hopefully for my future wife. And share the joy of relaxing with her in such a quiet, romantic stop. After all, every other car makes noise. And on this one you can drive through the forest, through the reeds and go straight to the center of the lake and have a real romantic dinner,” says Alexander Begak.
Alexander has had the need to invent something new since childhood.
At the age of six, he designed a rocket and tried to launch it into space from his room. It exploded and broke all the aquariums. Then the grandmother helped cover her tracks. But Alexander did not calm down. At the age of 13, he assembled an airplane in the basement: a chair from a tram, a motor from a motorcycle, wheels from a bicycle. The screw was planed by himself. Tested in a corn field.
“I started it up and started accelerating. And on takeoff, it fell apart for me. I'm at the fifth point in corn. That’s how, at the age of 13, I realized that I had to learn to build airplanes professionally,” says Alexander Begak.
The innovator already has three world records under his belt. Including a non-stop flight from Moscow to St. Petersburg on an aircraft of our own design. To understand the scale of the master’s inventions: the prototype of a flying car from a Dutch company cost about $10 million. More than 20 specialists from different fields and design bureaus worked on the car for more than a year and a half. Alexander is currently assembling his inventions by hand. And every day, together with a team of like-minded people, he continues to create and prove that the impossible is possible.
