It has been a sci-fi dream for decades, but
for those who have forever wanted to buy a
flying car? You only have a couple more years
to wait, says the company that has
successfully built and tested prototypes of
the "aeromobil" that can both drive and fly.
The aeromobil, a comfy two seater that
transforms into a light sports aircraft, aims to go
on sale in just two years from Slovakia-based
Aeromobil.
"We believe that 2017 weíll be able to launch
this to market," said company co-founder and
CEO Juraj Vaculik at a presentation at the South
By Southwest Interactive conference in Austin
Sunday.
The limited edition vehicle targeted at wealthy
supercar buyers and flight enthusiasts will have
a flying range of almost 700 kilometres on
regular gasoline, Vaculik said. It is equipped
with partial autopilot and a parachute that will
automatically deploy if the pilot falls ill.
"Nobody has to jump out," he said.
He said pricing has not been set, but will be in
the range of hundreds of thousands of U.S.
dollars.
He envisions it as being both for private and
shared usage.
"If something like a flying Uber and flying Lyft
will be on the market, I think many users will
find this a very efficient way to move," he said.
They might also be useful for getting to places
that Aren't connected by road and could reduce
the need for expensive roads in the future, he
added.
Finally, they could reduce traffic congestion,
since cars could be spread out in different layers
of airspace. Vaculik expects the flying cars to
stay below an altitude of three kilometres.
Tatiana Veber, an AeroMobil spokesman said:
'We have been developing the concept of a
flying car since 1990.
