Science and technology are the most potential tools that can revolutionize every industry possible. Recently, flying car news shows that you don’t have to wait for the future. Until now we thought flying cars were just science fiction or visual effects results. But now you are about to change your mind.
Flying cars are not something that you’ll see in the future but something that you’ll witness in the upcoming years or months. The Aircar prototype 1 has successfully completed its inter-city flight from Nitra airport to Bratislava airport. This flying car is powered by a BMW-sourced 160 hp engine with a fixed-propeller and a ballistic parachute.
The flying car covered the distance from Nitra airport to Bratislava airport within just 35 minutes. While on the air, it traveled at the speed of 190 KMPH. Stefan Klein was the man who drove this fascinating flying car. After finishing this record-breaking, flying journey, the flying car turned into a sports car in less than three minutes with just a click of a button. People have witnessed this marvelous transformation in front of their eyes.
The Aircar team has uploaded the entire journey video on YouTube. The video captures everything from the starting point of the car turning into a flying machine, then the mid-air journey and finally the landing. It even shows how the machine turned from a flying machine to a sports car within minutes after the landing. Then it rode back to the city streets.
The video is getting a lot of attention from everyone from tech experts to citizens. Who doesn’t want to see the future unfold in front of their eyes. People who had the chance to take pictures and video have captured the moment. If you haven’t checked the video, visit KleinVision’s YouTube channel and have a look at it.
The “Aircar” team informed that the flying car has the capacity to fly about 1000 km at a height of 8200 ft. And it can fly at a speed of 170 KMPH.
While in Testing this fascinating machine has performed steep 45 degree turns and stability and maneuverability. Also, the company informed us that this flying car takes around two minutes and 15 seconds to take off and convert from a car to an aircraft. Till now this prototype has completed nearly 40 hours of flight time and has reached a height of 8200 feet with a top speed of 190kmph.
Everyone who witnessed this spectacular adventure congratulated the Stefan Klein team’s efforts behind this project. Flying cars open up a new era in the transportation industry with the dual transportation vehicle. Many companies also tried their hands on flying car projects. Some of the big company names that are working towards making flying cars a reality are Uber and Hyundai. Anyway, everyone thought that it could take much longer to witness flying cars. But no one thought technology could bring this ambitious project to fruition so early. Thanks to the Stefan Klein team’s efforts in making this ambitious project a reality. Moreover, we are going to see more projects like this being successful in the near future.
