The trial lasted 35 minutes lot flying car prof. Stefan Klein. The scientist described him as normal and very pleasant. During the flight, he covered the distance of 75 kmthat separates the Slovak airports in Nitra, where it took off, and in Bratislava, where the tests were completed. The distance, however, can be misleading because, as prof. Klein, the vehicle has already been in the air for 40 hours – reports the BBC.

A flying car is no longer a fantasy of the future
Dr. Stephen Wright, a scientist in avionics and aircraft at the University of the West of England, described AirCar as “the baby of the Bugatti Veyron and Cesna 172.” which will be safe and possible in production.
However, let’s put these questions aside, because the very creation of such a vehicle is exciting. AirCar is equipped with an internal combustion engine BMW. Prof. Klein claims that it can fly up to 1,000. km at the height of 2.5 thousand. meters. Its speed in the air is about 170 km per hour. On board, however, there will be two people, whose weight, however, must not exceed 200 kg.
AirCar takes 2 minutes and 15 seconds to unfold its wings. These are located alongside carand when folded, they create a fairly large and massive spoiler. As you might have guessed, you need some speed to take off, as opposed to taxi-drone prototypes that look more like helicopters.
A market worth trillions of dollars
The BBC reminds you the words of a Morgan Stanley consultantwhich in 2019 predicted that the flying car market would be worth 1.5 trillion by 2040 dollars.
The development of the AirCar cost Klein Vision less than two million euro. The construction of the prototype took about two years. The company plans to conquer the American market, where 40,000 jobs are submitted annually. orders for air vehicles – said Anton Zajac, advisor and investor at Klein Vision. This creates a huge market – he adds – even if only 5 percent. orders will be taken over by flying cars.
