He added: "Flying at [2,500 metres] at speed of [185kph], it has turned science fiction into a reality."
AirCar is road-legal car that transforms into aircraft in less than three minutes. AirCar CEO Professor Stefan Klein flew and landed vehicle on its recent test flight. After landing at Bratislava Airport, he pushed one button to transform aircraft into sports car. He then drove it into downtown Bratislava on city's streets.
