A flying car that turns into a plane in just 80 seconds will be offered for sale in early 2026.
The Slovak flight car manufacturer Klein Vision presented the Aircar 2 today, its first “ready -to -production” prototype.
Small vision co-founder Anton ZAJAC announced TNW that the vehicle would cost between $ 800,000 and 1 million.
The original Aircar already attracted a lot of attention in 2021 when he successfully carried out a 35-minute inter-city test flight. The Aircar 2 will have some major improvements to its predecessor.
Klein Vision has scraped the 1.6-liter BMW engine for a new 280 hp engine with twice as strong electricity. This is intended to increase the cruise speed of the aircraft from 170 to 250 km/h, shorten the starting distance and increase general security.

The flying car will have a range of around 1000 km and will be powered by gasoline. Small vision plans to go Electrically “as soon as the energy density of the batteries is good enough,” said Zajac.
Owners of the flying car, which measures 5.8 meters long, can store it in most standard parking spaces. As soon as you wanted to fly, you would have to drive the vehicle to your local airport, press a button to put the wings and the helm and get the start. Once landed, they were able to drive to their goal. The car has a top speed of 200 km/h on the street.
The aircraft is based on 35 years of development, which is led by Slovak aviation experts Stefan Klein. The first Aircar, which was introduced in 2016, has already clocked 170 flight hours and more than 500 starts and landings. It received a certificate of the airiness for flying in 2022.
Klein Vision already has pre -orders for Aircar 2 and some “few interested potential customers,” said Zajac. The company recently presented the production prototype at the Living Legends of Aviation Gala Dinner in Beverly Hills. The guests of the event included Hollywood actor John Travolta and Morgan Freeman, Astronaut Buzz Aldrin and Prince Harry.

Klein Vision is already building the first production version of the Aircar 2 in his workshop in Slovakia. In September, the company plans to acquire an air conditioning certificate for the new model, which would enable it to produce 100 units per year.
Afterwards, Klein Vision aims to maintain the CS-32 certificate of European aviation safety, which would eliminate the restrictions on the production numbers.
Klein Vision, which a team of only seven people has, is completely sophisticated. The first Aircar cost around $ 5 million for construction. Most of this financing came from Zajac, a prominent Tech investor. However, he stated that the company is “open” for external investments because it is preparing to improve the production of the new model.
