What If a Regular Gasoline Car Could Turn Into a Flying Car? This Is the Proposal from Klein Vision, Which Developed a Gasoline Flying Car That Can Also Be Used on Solid Ground

A regular car that can transform into a flying car has been approved after flight tests in Slovakia. The gasoline flying car, named AirCar, received a Certificate of Airworthiness from the Slovak Transport Authority after completing 70 hours of “rigorous flight tests,” according to Klein Vision, the company that developed the dual-mode flying car. According to a statement released by the company, the test flights, which included over 200 takeoffs, were compliant with standards set by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).

According to Klein Vision, the challenging flight tests included the full range of flight maneuvers and performance and demonstrated surprising dynamic and static stability of the flying car when in aircraft mode. A pilot license will be required to operate the “hybrid” vehicle, and the company plans to launch the gasoline flying car to the market within 12 months.

According to the inventor of the gasoline flying car and the leader of the development team, Stefan Klein, the certification received by the vehicle opens doors for mass production. Kyriakos Kourousis, chairman of the Royal Aeronautical Society’s Specialist Group on Airworthiness and Maintenance, stated that if the company involved in the certification develops a business plan, it could lead to the creation of a market-ready product.

According to the chairman, the scale will also create numerous job opportunities and open up the possibility for new technologies to be developed. Other projects of this kind are being developed, such as the PAL-V Liberty, a gyroplane that also functions as a gasoline car. The vehicle has received complete certification (AESA), but the final compliance demonstration step is still pending.

Kourousis states that the choice of a combustion engine for the vehicle’s propulsion system was likely made based on proven technology. The environmental impact could be substantial if the use of this type of vehicle expands, especially in urban areas.

It is possible that we may see fully electric or at least hybrid models of this type, or something similar, in the near future, contributing to CO2 emission reduction goals.
