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.

    I think the main application is for licensed pilots to be able to simply drive their plane home and store it somewhere that doesn’t cost a ton of money every month, as would be the case with a regular plane.

    Also, you can land it and then drive to your destination, for example. The concept is to replace planes, not cars.
