But whoever wants it, will have to pay 1,2 to 1,5 millions of euros, as revealed by the Slovak-based manufacturing company of the same name.
The first car plans are expected to be delivered to customers within it 2020.
The company – one of many preparing similar hybrid vehicles- plans to produce in the first phase up to 500 such flying vehicles, according to Reuters.
The two-seater AeroMobil, which has a teardrop shape and a hybrid engine, features both four wheels and two airplane wings, which fold, like an insect, on the sides of the vehicle in just three minutes. So, quickly converts from plane to car and vice versa.
Its radius of action on the road reaches the 100 kilometers and in the air the 750 kilometers, while its road speed also reaches the 100 kilometers.
But there are certain conditions to be the owner of such a medium. It should take off from an airport or other place with an airstrip (and not from the street outside his house, something that is illegal), while he should obviously have both a driver's and a pilot's license. Yet, the car-plane will be subject to the regulations governing both cars and airplanes (and will certainly be an ideal presumption of income for the tax authorities…).
For such vehicles to circulate, the fears of public authorities and public opinion on security issues should be allayed. The governments, which already have to regulate the use and operation of unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) and driverless autonomous vehicles, now they will have an additional headache: the car shots.
