The flying car is getting closer to taking off

The AirCar is a flying car prototype that was already successfully tested in 2021. At that time, its co-founder, Stefan Klein, piloted the car for 35 minutes, which is the time it took to fly from the city of Nitra to Bratislava International Airport. With that journey, the head of the manufacturing company showed the world that cars can now fly.

Now, the technology that enables this feat has been sold to the Chinese company Hebei Jianxin Car Technology Co LTD so that it can be used in a specific geographic region. Thus, Chinese car drivers could be among the first to be able to buy flying cars.

The AirCar is a four-wheeled car, more or less standard, that deploys and retracts its wings depending on the use that is going to be given to it. When flying, it extends its wings to take flight and, when it has landed, it can collect them to store them so that they do not hinder road traffic.
