People might not be content to wait on the streets for a ride; they may one day look up at the AirCar from the sky.
The vehicle, made by Slovakia-based company Klein Vision, is half car, half airplane, and it’s just been given an airworthiness certificate by the Slovak Transport Authority.
This means the car of tomorrow will be able to meet the requirements of the European Aviation Safety Agency.
The AirCar isn’t made for long-haul flights. The prototype currently available can fly approximately 310 miles with just under seven gallons.
And when on the ground, the AirCar’s wings are fully retractable and hits the road using its 160 HP BMW engine.
It takes just three minutes to transform an aircraft into road-worthy.
When can people look forward to flying above traffic? This is yet to be determined, as the AirCar is still being tested.
Even so, that hasn’t stopped Klein Vision from dreaming up new vehicles for the future, including one that could land on water.
