AeroMobil to debut production ready flying car

We have been closing in on the future for a while now. We already have pocket computers, friendly robots, smart watches that was once thought as a distant dream. All that was missing was the flying car. But now Aeromobil seems to have covered that as well.

The latest version — Aeromobil 3.0 is the result of the continuous work by designer Stefan Klein that dates back to 1990. This flying car is capable of transforming from a car to a plane simply by unfolding wings that fit alongside the vehicle’s cockpit and starting a propeller that is in the car’s rear.

The AeroMobil 3.0 gets a steel framework and carbon coating construction, weighing at 450kg. It can seat two people and is equipped with a Rotax 912 engine that has a range of 700km in flight mode and 875km on road. The flying car consumes 15 litres per hour for flying, and 12.5kmpl while driving. The claimed top-speed of the car is 200kmph in air and 160kmph on road. This vehicle can fit into a regular parking space, and can be refuelled at any petrol pump.

AeroMobil 3.0 will debut at the Pioneers Festival in Vienna on October 28, 2014.
