The Slovak company first tried to fly a prototype of this car back in May 2015. The production version is yet to fly a full range. But the company claims this car is capable of running a very impressive 700 kilometre on four wheels, while it also has a flying range of 400 nautical miles (approximately 740 km). It is claimed to have a cruising speed of 140 knots (approximately 260 kmph) and what’s more interesting, this car is capable of flying from running on road in less than 3 seconds.
With this flying car, Aermobil is hopeful to convince the aerospace giants about the futuristic mobility that will enable the vehicles to fly alongside running on roads. The company is expected to start producing the car in couple of years once the final tests are done successfully. Also, it will produce the flying car in a limited number of 500 units only.
