Klein Vision, the Slovakia-based developer of what it describes as “the world’s first certified flying car, the AirCar”, has unveiled its production prototype at the 2025 Living Legends of Aviation Gala Dinner in Beverly Hills. The production prototype builds on years of rigorous testing and technical refinement and is designed for commercial scalability, says the company in a press statement.
AirCar inventor and designer Stefan Klein unveiled the production prototype to a crowd of industry leaders at the gala where Klein was honored with the Special Recognition Award for Engineering Excellence.
The AirCar, which already holds a Certificate of Airworthiness, has successfully completed over170 flight hoursand more than 500 takeoffs and landings, said the company. This vehicle is capable of automatic transformation from car to aircraft in less than two minutes, blending advanced aerodynamics, composite structures, and a new 280-horsepower engine.
AirCar co-founder Anton Zajac said: “The AirCar is a fusion of certified aviation engineering and advanced automotive design — a true dual-mode vehicle that meets rigorous standards in both air and ground performance. With global air mobility projected to reach USD162 billion by 2034 and growing at over 50% CAGR, we believe the production prototype we are unveiling this year positions Klein Vision at the forefront of this transformation.”
