Gordie’s Midday Gossip - Would you buy a flying car?

Flying cars are coming

SEE: Flying car prototype completes first inner-city flight

The first mass-produced FLYING CAR will go on sale early next year. But even if you get a good deal on financing, it’s got a hefty price tag. A company in Slovakia called Klein Vision says its new “AirCar” will cost a very reasonable $800,000. Up to a million if you add upgrades.

Even if you CAN afford it, you might not want one. It’s technically a “flying” car but not the “hover” car we were promised in movies like “Back to the Future”.

It’s basically just a sports car with retractable wings and a propeller in back. So, you can’t lift off in traffic. You still need a runway, and a pilot’s license.

It transforms into an airplane in under two minutes, has a range of 621 miles and a top cruising speed of 155 miles an hour at 18,000 feet.

They’ll hit the sky in early 2026, at least in Europe. They’re hoping to get them approved in the U.S. this fall.
