AirCar (V5) flying car developmental milestone, a 35-mile flight from Nitra and to Brastislava, Slovakia's capital. In three minutes it converted from car mode to plane mode. Powered by a BMW 1.6-litre engine it produces 140 hp, has a fuel consumption at a rate of 18 liters an hour, and it has an estimated range of the 1,000 kilometers. It requires a take-off run of 300 meters before getting Vlof/airborne, after which it can reach top speeds up to 200 km/h in flight. The aerodynamic lift-body fuselage will have space for passengers, its wings are retractable, tail surfaces fold and have a parachute deployment system. The ultra-lightweight 2-seater weighs 1,100 kgs and can even carry additional load of 200 kgs per flight. It's retracted body package is compact enough for conventional road use. The pitch elevator surface generates lift in plane mode and car mode, the rear spoiler generates downforce. In future developments, they'll have a twin-engine and amphibian versions.
