Powered by a BMW engine and normal fuel, the AirCar flew for 35 minutes between two Slovakian airports in 2021, using runways for take-off and landing.
It took just over two minutes to transform from a car into an aircraft.
Now vehicles made based on its design will be used within a “specific geographical region” of China.
Hebei Jianxin Flying Car Technology Company, headquartered in Cangzhou, has purchased exclusive rights to manufacture and use AirCar aircraft inside an undisclosed area.
Flying cars are the stuff politicans love, because they do not have to change anything about car centric infrastructure at all, do not have to buitl public transport and only the rich can afford them. We call the helicopters today.
Germany’s Minister of Infrastructure just invested 150Million € into a flying taxi company. Its just helicopters.
What I find really disturbing about this is the fact that so many people fall for this scam.
Career politicians tend to be rich themselves, they can’t even imagine someone being unable to afford a flying car.
