The Sky Is The Limit : AeroMobil Launches World’s First Flying Car
The evolution of the supercar is the AeroMobil. Inspired by the mythical winged horse Pegasus, the AeroMobil is the high-end vehicle species equally at home on the road or in the sky – the flying car.
With the culmination of leading-edge automotive and aerospace design and engineering, advanced materials, luxury features, and impeccable styling, AeroMobil does what no supercar or private jet can do.
It can seamlessly transform from car to aircraft – from driving to flying – in under three minutes.
In early 2023, AeroMobil will bring to market the flying car that is both cool and sophisticated and will set new standards of innovation, driver and passenger experience, and safety.
Its pedigree includes top automakers BMW, Aston Martin, McLaren, Mercedes Benz F-1 and Ferrari F-1, and aerospace leaders Lockheed Martin, Rolls Royce, Airbus, and Diamond Aircraft, among others.
