A Chinese company has purchased the flying car technology originally developed and successfully tested in Europe.
In 2021, the AirCar, with a BMW engine and powered by conventional fuel, flew for 35 minutes between two Slovakian airports using the runway. It took just over two minutes to transform from car to plane.
Now, vehicles based on his design will be used within a “specific geographic region” of China.
Hebei Jianxin Flying Car Technology Company, headquartered in Changzhou, purchased the exclusive rights to manufacture and use the AirCar.
KleinVision, the company behind the AirCar flying car, declined to say how much it sold the technology for.
After leading the revolution in electric vehicle development, China is now actively developing flying transportation programs.
Last month, Autoflight conducted a test flight of a passenger drone between the cities of Shenzhen and Zhuhai. A trip that takes three hours by car was made in 20 minutes. However, there were no passengers in the plane during the test.
Last year, relevant authorities issued a safety certificate to Chinese company eHang for its electric flying taxi.
