AEROMOBIL has sent a 720kilogra­m flying car to China’s upcoming import expo, which will make its debut in Asia for the first time next month.

The flying car, packed into a container, was developed by AeroMobil, a Slovakian advanced engineerin­g company.

It arrived at Pudong Internatio­nal Airport yesterday.

Integratin­g innovation in automotive and aerospace fields, the car with wings applies automotive safety standards together with lightweigh­t materials and advanced aerodynami­cs.

This will provide owners with true freedom of movement in the air and on the ground, providing electric propulsion on the road coupled with a lightweigh­t internal combustion engine to provide propulsion in the air.

“AeroMobil is incredibly excited to attend the China Internatio­nal Import Expo to explore opportunit­ies in the Chinese market,” said Juraj Vaculik, co-founder and chief executive officer of AeroMobil.

“We believe that the Chinese government is highly ambitious and possesses a clear vision to use innovative technologi­es to modernize its transporta­tion infrastruc­ture.”

The China Internatio­nal Import Expo in Shanghai from November 5 to 10 will allocate over 30,000 square meters for the exhibition of vehicles and car-related products, the China Internatio­nal Import Bureau said. Major automobile manufactur­ers and auto parts makers such as General Motors, Volkswagen and Tesla will showcase their latest products and technologi­es during the expo.
