Car technology and science can be pretty amazing. Over the last couple of months we have been looking at many concept designs and motor-tech in general. Whether you’re a fan of what’s on offer or not it’s hard to disagree that the possibilities are seriously impressive and proving to be pretty endless. Although the world in 2015 doesn’t look like Back to the Future II we can see that things are getting very real!

Today our eye was drawn to the AeroMobil, a flying car which has been undergoing regular flight-testing in real flight conditions since October 2014. I was reminded of the concept after listening to a BBC Radio 5 Live Drive interview. 

AeroMobil says that it uses regular petrol and fits into standard parking spaces. Like any other car it can be used on the road. When in plane-mode it can be used in “any airport in the world” and it can also take off and land on grassy strips and paved surfaces that are just “a few hundred metre long.”

This impressive machine is built mostly from advanced composite material. The Slovakian based company, according to BBC Radio 5 Live, says that “the first ones could be in the air by 2017.” Martin Bruncko, chief strategy officer for AeroMobil, said that this flying car will have “a limited run of 1,000 products at most” and that the price will “be under one million, but in the hundreds of thousands”.

Mr Bruncko also said that as a car it can be driven with a normal driver's licence. To fly, a pilot licence will be required. To find out more, log onto Aeromobil.com.
