Incredible video shows first real flying car on flight test over Europe

An incredible flying car which drives on normal roads, using petrol, but can take wing from any open grassy area is now being flight tested in Europe.

The AeroMobil is still in prototype, but is near-final - and unlike other rivals, meets the criteria both for planes and for road vehicles in Europe.

On the ground, the Czech-built vehicle can hit 100 mph - and it flies at up to 124mph on twin propellers, being able to extend wings and take off from any clear stretch of grass or tarmac.

It can land on just 150 feet of grass, and fly for up to 430 miles.

Its makers hope it will ‘change personal transport on a global scale.’  

It’s equipped with an autopilot - and a parachute for emergencies - and its makers hope it will herald a new age of ‘door to door’ transportation.

The makers designed and built the working model in just 10 months - and say it contains various ground-breaking technologies which could spark a new age of personal aviation, such as variable-angle wings which allow it to take off on a much shorter runway than rival aircraft.

The Aeromobil also has toughened suspension, so it can take off from relatively rough terrain, including paved streets or parkland.

Its makers have yet to confirm a price tag or release date for the vehicle - but unlike rivals, it is most definitely real, and flying over Europe now.

“The AeroMobil 3.0 is predominantly built from advanced composite material,” say Aeromobil.

“That includes its body shell, wings, and wheels. It also contains all the main features that are likely to be incorporated into the final product, such as avionics equipment, autopilot and an advanced parachute deployment system.”
