The prototype is part of an ongoing project by the AeroMobil Team led by co-founders Stefan Klein and Jurak Vaculik, who are based in Bratislava, in Slokavia.
Roadworthy: The vehicle can be driven on normal roads as well as being flown as a two-seater airplane, as it is able take off and land at any airport, 'opening the door to real door-to-door travel' according to the Slovakian company
Tatiana Veber, AeroMobil spokesman said: 'We have been developing the concept of a flying car since 1990.
'Our first model looked quite bizarre and it would have problems in the regular use.
'That was a signal to improve the concept of the flying car in a way to become an integral part of the regular road traffic.
'We got a positive feedback from several experts in avionics, which appreciated design and the technical solution of the process of transformation.
The vehicle, which weighs 450kg, has a take-off speed of 90mph and a range of 430 miles as an airplane
The flying car is powered by a large propeller at its rear. The company has been working on the concept to try and develop a vehicle that could become an 'integral part' of the regular ways that people travel

A flying car or roadable aircraft is an aircraft that can also travel along roads. All the working examples have required some manual or automated process of conversion between the two modes of operation.
