It was once the stuff of science fiction novels, but the concept of a flying car is now a reality after a prototype completed a 35-minute flight between two airports in Slovakia. • The AirCar is capable of flying around 600 miles at a height of up to 8,000ft. • An ingenious cross between a car and an aircraft, it runs on normal petrol-pump fuel and is powered by an engine made by BMW, with a cruising speed of 120mph. • The flying car made a successful flight between the airports of Nitra and Bratislava in Slovakia on Monday. • After landing at Bratislava airport, its inventor, Prof Stefan Klein, drove it straight from the runway into the city. • To transform from a car into an airplane takes less than three minutes. Its wings rise up and then fold along the sides of the vehicle. • So far the AirCar, which can carry two people, has completed around 40 hours of test flights but it is not yet certified for commercial flight. • Subscribe to The Telegraph on YouTube ► https://bit.ly/3idrdLH • Get the latest headlines: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/ • Telegraph.co.uk and / telegraphtv are websites of The Telegraph, the UK's best-selling quality daily newspaper providing news and analysis on UK and world events, business, sport, lifestyle and culture. • #FlyingCar #AirCar #BMW
