A Slovakia-based company has managed to create a flying car.
According to Daily Mail, AeroMobil is a flying car that makes use of the existing infrastructure made for cars and planes. When in car configuration, the AeroMobil can fit into a regular parking space and also uses normal fuel from a service station.
The AeroMobil can fly 692km on a single tank of petrol and when its wings are folded down it fits into parking spaces. It can travel both on land as it is fully accustomed to traffic on the road and can take off and land at any airport worldwide. The current version AeroMobil 3 can seat both the driver and one passenger comfortably. The vehicle can reach up to 200km/h when in the air and 160km/h on the roads.
‘Our first model looked quite bizarre and it would have problems in the regular use.’ said Tatiana Veber, a spokesperson for AeroMobil.
‘That was a signal to improve the concept of the flying car in a way to become an integral part of the regular road traffic.
The wings fold into the back seat behind the driver when in car mode and while the design is still not perfect, AeroMobil third prototype will be shown to the world October 29th at the Pioneers Festival in Austria.
