The vehicle will sell at around $1.3 to $1.7 million,  depending on specifications.            The Flying Car        <\/p>\n<p>      With our childhood perceptions of the future formed by      viewings of Back to the Future and the Jetsons, we have      always held a special place in our hearts for the idea of a      flying car. And while tech industry giants like Elon Musk say      that there is no real future for flying cars, AeroMobil, a      flying car company, seems to disagree.    <\/p>\n<p>      Credit:      Aeromobil    <\/p>\n<p>      The company has released its new model and is currently      taking pre-orders for the limited first edition      of the flying car. All preorders on the AeroMobil will ship      2020, and the added time will give the company a chance to      increase production to meet the demands of building500      vehicles.    <\/p>\n<p>      The two-seated vehicle powered by hybrid propulsion can      transform from car to plane in under 3 minutes. It also      boasts a driving range of 700 km (434 miles) and a flight      range thats a bit longer at 750 km (466 miles) at 75 percent      of its top speed. On the ground, the hybrid vehicle boasts a      top speed around 160 kph (100 mph), while in the air      its 360 kph (224 mph).    <\/p>\n<p>      Now, should the Flying Car run out of fuel midflight or bust      an engine, there are safety features that help it glide down      to Earth with the help of a parachute. Passengers would be      provided with airbags for in-air and on-road accidents.    <\/p>\n<p>      If you want to get your hands on one of these, youll need to      fork over       $1.3 to $1.7 million. While flying cars may seem like a      fad for the rich, it might become something more than that,      with ride-share companies like uber taking an interest in the technology. Aeromobil      also isnt alone in their quest to conquerthe skies. In a few      years, we may be able to have our pick of flying cars      although none are likely to be DeLoreans.    <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>More here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/the-worlds-first-flying-car-is-taking-pre-orders-for-2020-delivery\/\" title=\"The World's First Flying Car Is Taking Pre-Orders for 2020 Delivery - Futurism\">The World's First Flying Car Is Taking Pre-Orders for 2020 Delivery - Futurism<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> In Brief AeroMobil, a flying car company, has unveiled the first edition of its new vehicle and is taking pre-orders for shipments in 2020.
