Yesterday, at the SXSW conference, AeroMobil executive director Juraj Vaculik told about plans to release a flying car. According to him, this technology is not just a prototype, but a model practically ready for commercial operation. Moreover, AeroMobil expects to start selling flying cars in 2017. Vatsulik said that he dreamed of such transport 25 years ago, when he lived in Czechoslovakia. And now his dreams have finally come true.
Vatsulik believes that flying cars seem to free users from the “prison” of modern public transport, which does not meet the current needs of society. ')
The company AeroMobil showed a prototype of the car a few years ago, and now it has version 3.0 of the car, which was officially introduced in October 2014, ready.
The new model is reliable enough to safely rise into the air and land. Vatsulik represents the time when the normal infrastructure for such vehicles, including filling stations, will be created on earth.
True, this car is considered an aircraft, so a pilot’s license will be required to control such a vehicle.
AeroMobil plans to launch in 2017 a model of a double car, which will be equipped with a parachute. The director of the company says that the greatest problems arise with equipping all the necessary security options. In addition, there are problems with choosing the right engine.
When asked about the audience of potential buyers, Vatsulik said that at first flying cars would be considered an expensive toy for the rich, but over time their value would fall. In the future, AeroMobil is going to bring to the market a quadruple model, which will be able to work in a completely autonomous mode.
