Flying Car Takes First Flight Between 2 Cities And Cruises Into Town As Sports Car 3 Mins Later

This is the moment an inventor’s flying car takes off next to a plane and carries out its 142nd successful landing in a different city
– before converting into a sports car in under three minutes so the owner can drive into town for a coffee.

The nifty AirCar carried out its first ever flight between two international airports at 6pm on 28th June.

AirCar turns into an aircraft from a road vehicle in under three minutes with just the click of a button, according to its visionary designer Professor Stefan Klein in a statement to Newsflash.

Professor Stefan Klein flew from the Slovakian city of Nitra to the country’s capital Bratislava before transforming his flying car into a sports vehicle and heading for a coffee in the city centre.

Professor Klein sipped a hot coffee in Verne Cafe next to where he teaches at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava.

The inventor, who first started designing a flying car 32 years ago, said: “It was a comfortable flight. The weather was beautiful, everything worked well.”

He added that it took him about 25 minutes to fly 80 kilometres from Nitra to Bratislava, including a circle above the D1 motorway to view the rush-hour traffic.

Professor Klein said: “This is exactly the advantage of the AirCar, you never get stuck in a traffic jam.

“With today’s flight we wanted to demonstrate the capabilities of this experimental prototype as well as prove that the idea behind this means of transportation is realistic.”

In a video of the flight, the inventor said it had carried out its 142nd successful landing.

The flying car carried out its first test flight at Piesťany Airport in the Slovakian town of the same name at the end of October.

The vehicle is produced by research and development company Klein Vision who said they wanted to make Professor Klein’s brainchild come to life.

Professor Klein successfully completed two flights at the Slovakian airport at the end of October.

Klein Vision posted footage of the test on YouTube on 27th October 2020 where it went viral with 3.4 million views.

The two-seat AirCar weighs 1,100 kilogrammes with a further load capacity of 200 kilogrammes per flight.

The nifty flying car is powered by a BMW 1.6l engine and boasts a power output of 140HP.

AirCar can reportedly travel up to 1,000 kilometres with an estimated fuel consumption rate of 18 l/h, reaching speeds of up to 200kph.

At the end of last year, Professor Klein, Klein Vision’s CTO and test pilot, told Newsflash: “The key flight parameters confirmed all theoretical concepts and calculations that the development of the AirCar was based on.

Klein Vision’s co-founder and pilot Anton Zajac added: “With AirCar, you will arrive at your destination without the hassle of getting a ride to the airport and passing through commercial security.

“You can then drive your AirCar to the golf course, the office, the shopping centre or your hotel, and park it in a normal parking space.”
