Flying Car Certified to Fly!
Civil Aviation Authority issues AirCar the Certificate of
Airworthiness
AirCar the dual-mode car-aircraft vehicle has been issued the official Certificate of
Airworthiness by the Slovak Transport Authority, following the successful completion of 70
hours of rigorous flight testing compatible with European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)
standards, with over 200 takeoffs and landings.
The challenging flight tests included the full range of flight and performance maneuvers anddemonstrated an astonishing static and dynamic stability in the aircraft mode. The takeoff
and landing procedures were achieved even without the pilot’s need to touch the flightcontrols.
It took a team of 8 highly skilled specialists and over 100,000 manhours to convert design
drawings into mathematical models with CFD analysis calculations, wind tunnel testing, 1:1
design prototype powered by electric 15KW engine to 1000kg 2-seat dual-mode prototype
powered by 1.6L BMW engine that achieved the crucial certification milestone.
“AirCar certification opens the door for mass production of very efficient flying cars. It is
official and the final confirmation of our ability to change mid-distance travel forever,” said
Professor Stefan Klein, the inventor, leader of the development team and the test pilot. “50years ago, the car was the epitome of freedom,” says Anton Zajac, the project cofounder.
“AirCar expands those frontiers, by taking us into the next dimension; where road meetssky.”“Professor Stefan Klein is the world leader in the development of user-friendly Flying Cars.
His latest (fifth) version is the pinnacle achievement in the new category of flying cars!” said
Dr. Branko Sarh, Boeing Co. Senior Technical Fellow. “The automated transition from roadvehicle into an air vehicle and vice versa, deploying/retracting wings and tail is not only theresult of pioneering enthusiasm, innovative spirit and courage; it is an outcome of excellent
engineering and professional knowledge,” he noted after AirCar’s first intercity flight lastyear.
“Transportation Authority carefully monitored all stages of unique AirCar development fromits start in 2017. The transportation safety is our highest priority. AirCar combines top
innovations with safety measures in line with EASA standards. It defines a new category of asports car and a reliable aircraft. Its certification was both a challenging and fascinatingtask,” said René Molnár, the director of the Civil Aviation Division (Transport Authority ofSlovakia).
Klein Vision has already completed tests of a new powerful, lightweight, and efficient ADEPT
Airmotive aviation engine and finalized drawings and technical calculations for the upcoming
monocoque model with variable pitch propeller expected to reach speeds over 300km/h andrange of 1,000km. “ADEPT Airmotive is proud to have our ecologically compliant engines

selected to power this exciting and innovative project,” said Richard Schulz – Founder,
ADEPT Airmotive. “Klein Vision’s AirCar is an engineering marvel, and we look forward ourlong-term cooperation!”, added Raymond Bakker, the ADEPT Technical Director. The new
production model is expected to be certified in 12 months.
