Everything we know so far about Klein Vision's flying AirCar

Slovakian company Klein Vision is bringing you the future of personal transportation in the form of a prototype flying car: the AirCar 2.

It unveiled its production prototype of the world’s first certified flying car at the 2025 Living Legend of Aviation Gala Dinner in Beverly Hills.

The company’s AirCar 2 is a vehicle that transforms from car into aircraft in just 80 seconds.

Set to launch in early 2026, the creators say the 2-seater is set to change the game for a few reasons.

An interview with co-founder Anton Zajac revealed that the company prefers the term ‘roadable aircraft’, rather than flying car.

This is because the vehicle is closer to an aircraft that is designed to be road-worthy.

In fact, you’ll need both a driver’s license and a pilot’s license to operate one.

No matter what you call it, the AirCar 2 is a result of 30 years of development.

With more than 170 hours of flight testing and more than 500 takeoffs, it has proven its capabilities.

Way back in 2022, it received a Certificate of Airworthiness by the Slovak Transport Authority.

The AirCar boasts a new 280-horsepower engine, though it has 320 and 340-horsepower options available too.

It can fly at cruising speeds of up to 150 knots, with a range of around 600 nautical miles.

It’s also surprisingly light, with the empty weight of the AirCar being less than 1,800 lbs.

For reference, that is about half the weight of a Porsche 911 turbo.

“The AirCar fulfills a lifelong dream to bring the flight into the hands of everyday people,” company founder Stefan Klein said.

“With the launch of our production prototype, we are one step closer to transforming how the world moves — merging the road and the sky into a new dimension of personal mobility.”

However, since the vehicle is closer to an aircraft than a car, its price tag may prove detrimental for the common man.

The standard four-seater is expected to cost between $800,000 to $1.2 million.

Of course, this depends on the engine and the level of luxury in the cockpit, among other factors.

With the global air mobility industry projected to reach $162 billion by 2034, Klein Vision is well-positioned to take advantage of the growing market.

In a world where traffic jams are a daily annoyance, the Aircar 2 offers a solution that is both exciting and practical.
