  • Welcome to the future. This might look like a plane, but what you're seeing is a car which

  • can sprout wings and take to the skies. In this studio in Slovakia, Stefan Klein has

  • made his childhood dream a reality, producing a real life flying car, called the Aeromobil.

  • This isn't the final prototype, but as you can see the entire object is made out of very

  • simple materials and its design is identical to the original look. We already tested it

  • downtown, its parking skills and driving on the highway. On the highway it reaches up

  • to 130 kilometres per hour without any problem.

  • But on the highway the Aeromobil's distinctive look is likely to turn heads.

  • This is the transformation when the wings open within a few seconds. This is the key

  • moment when the angle of the wing inclination is changed. A part of them tilts which simulates

  • the rotation of the plane body.

  • Stefan hopes the car could help cut down on the time spent waiting for planes at airports

  • or even be used in places where airports don't exist at all, but of course he doesn't expect

  • to solve the problems of global transportation. The latest Aeromobil model will be produced

  • next year and then, it's hoped, the flying car will finally be available for customers

  • to buy.

Welcome to the future. This might look like a plane, but what you're seeing is a car which
