A prototype flying automobile successfully completed a 35-minute test flight between two cities in Slovakia.
According to a news release issued on Wednesday, Klein Vision’s AirCar flew between Nitra and the city Bratislava on Monday.
According to Klein Vision, it has now completed more than 40 hours of test flights, including flying at 8,200 feet and reaching a maximum cruising speed of 190 kilometers per hour (118 miles per hour).
Following their arrival in Bratislava on Monday, the plane was converted into a car and driven into the city center by Klein Vision CEO Stefan Klein and co-founder Anton Zajac.
The company is working on a model called AirCar Prototype 2, which will boast a 300 horsepower engine.
Klein Vision plans to develop three- and four-seater models of the AirCar, as well as twin-engine and amphibious versions, according to its website.
A growing number of companies are exploring the potential of flying vehicles despite hurdles including safety and reliability.
