Will We Be Seeing Flying Cars In The Near Future??
Well Actually Yes : Introducing The AeroMobil 3.0
The prototype was conceived as a vehicle that can be converted from an automobile to an aircraft. The version 2.5 proof-of-concept took 20 years to develop, and first flew in 2013. The prototype was constructed by the AeroMobil Team, based in Bratislava, Slovakia and led by co-founders Štefan Klein and Juraj Vaculik, advised by inventor Dean Kamen.
As of 2013, there have been four developmental versions of the Aeromobil, 1.0, 2.0 and 2.5, with earlier versions lacking folding wings, while later versions have folding wings and fins around the wheels. Version 2.5 was first exhibited in Montreal at the SAE AeroTech Congress and Exhibition. Version 3.0 was introduced at the Pioneers Festival 2014 in Vienna, Austria, and flew in October 2014. The designers intend to include a ballistic Parachutes.
In 2014 the company said there is no date for a finished product, but in 2015 they hoped for deliveries in 2017.
