Imagine cruising down the highway at 200 km/h, then soaring above traffic at 250 km/h—all in the same vehicle. This isn’t science fiction. Slovakian tech pioneer Klein Vision has unveiled the Flying Sportscar Aircar 2, a flying sports car that transforms into a plane in just 80 seconds. Slated for release in early 2026, this groundbreaking machine promises to redefine personal transportation.
From Road to Sky: The Aircar 2’s Groundbreaking Features
The Aircar 2 builds on the success of its predecessor, which completed a historic 35-minute inter-city flight in 2021. Here’s what sets this flying sports car apart:
1. Power and Speed Redefined
- 280-HP Engine: Replacing the original BMW motor, the upgraded engine doubles power output, boosting cruising speed to 250 km/h (up from 170 km/h).
- Faster Takeoff: Reduced takeoff distance and improved safety make it accessible for novice pilots.
- Monocoque Design: A single-shell structure enhances durability and aerodynamics.
2. Seamless Transformation
- 80-Second Morph: Deploy wings and rudder with a button press, cutting transition time by 50%.
- Compact Storage: At 5.8 meters long, it fits in standard parking spots.
3. Range and Practicality
- 1,000 km Range: Powered by petrol (with electric plans pending battery advancements).
- Dual-Mode Versatility: Drive to the airport, fly, then drive to your destination.
