A Flying "Car"

In 2017, the Aeromobil 3.0 will speed along highways and through the air.

For years, the Slovakian company Aeromobil has been working on a cross-breed between two of the most popular means of transport: the car and the plane. In 2017, the company expects that its Aeromobil 3.0 flying car will finally be ready for sale to interested buyers, who will need a driver's licence, a pilot's certificate, and lots of money. Thanks to its special wings, that can be folded along its body, the flying car can be driven on highways and take a flight of up to 700 km. The man behind the concept, Štefan Klein, has spent over 25 years developing and refining the flying car, which he has already shown to work in real life. The price is expected to be several hundred thousand euros. But is it really a flying car... or just a drivable aeroplane?
