AirCar transforms from car to plane in 2minutes 15 seconds, after which it can take off from a small runway with two people on board. As Klein explains, his development can fly almost a thousand kilometers at an average speed of 170 km / h at an altitude of up to 2.5 km.
The company intends to occupy at least a part of the global market for small private jets and air taxis. Up to 40 thousand of such devices can be ordered annually in the USA alone.
