Klein vision reveals production prototype of its flying supercar
Klein Vision reveals the prototype of its flying supercar AirCar, soon to be ready for mass production. Unveiled at the 2025 Living Legends of Aviation Gala Dinner in Beverly Hills, the flying supercar builds on years of testing and technical adjustments so it can be suitable for commercial and personal use. At the present time, the engineering team expects to fly AirCar 2, which is the ‘ultimate’ pre-production model, at the end of the summer in 2025.
So far, the flying supercar of Klein Vision has completed over 170 flight hours as well as more than 500 takeoffs and landings. It’s not just an aircraft; it doubles as such. When not in the air, owners can drive around AirCar on roads like a normal automobile. Its wings retract when on land and deploy when it is about to take off. Its body features the shape of a real-life supercar, just with an exposed propeller and lifted tail at the rear.

Back in 2022, AirCar received its Certificate of Airworthiness from the Slovak Transport Authority. It had completed 70 hours of flight tests compatible with the European Aviation Safety Agency standards, rounding up to 200 takeoffs and landings. Today, it comes with a 280-horsepower engine, and for the ultimate pre-production model, the engineering team amps it up to 300 horsepower. This one also features a fully composite structure, one that can run up to 150 knots of cruising speed and a 600 nautical mile range. At the gala dinner where the mass-production-ready model was unveiled, the engineering team also showcased a short documentary.
It previews the 35-year journey of Klein Vision’s flying supercar. Its style has changed from having a private jet body to being an automobile with wings for road and air use. So far, the design team says there will be a variety of models after the first production rolls out. The series includes three- and four-seaters, a twin engine, and, for water fans, an amphibious version. Aside from the pre-production model flight test at the end of the summer in 2025, Klein Vision has yet to announce when the flying supercar AirCar is going to be available commercially.
