Slovakian engineer Stephan Klein, who used to work for BMW and Audi, recently unveiled the Aeromobil 2.5, a street-legal car concept that can also fly.
Standing six metres long, the two-passenger Aeromobil 2.5 spreads from 1.6 to 8.2 metres wide when deploying its wings. It weighs just 450 kilograms thanks to a steel and carbon fibre structure.
Equipped with an ultralight aircraft engine, the Aeromobil 2.5 has a driving range of 500 kilometres and a top speed of 160 km/h, with a fuel consumption average of 7.5L/100km. In the air, the machine can cover 700 kilometres at a maximum speed of 200 km/h while burning 15L/h.
No word on when the Aeromobil 2.5 will go on sale or how much it will cost.
Back in May, a Massachusetts-based company called Terrafugia introduced the TF-X flying car, setting a target for 2020.
