AirCar’s cruising speed is 170 kilometers per hour. “After installing the adjustable-pitch propeller, the speed will increase to 200 kilometers per hour, which will make AirCar one of the fast aircraft,” Klein explained. AirCar was established in a workshop in Janíkovce, today the city district of Nitra. The flying car is currently powered by a 160-horsepower engine, but will eventually have up to 300 horsepower.
