A flying car company is making history by making the first trip of one of its vehicles with a passenger: none other than musician Jean-Michel Jarre.
Legendary French musician Jean-Michel Czar became the first to take to the skies of Slovakia twice in front of a mesmerized audience in Kleinvision's aircar.

“One second you're talking to the driver and the next thing you know, you're up there in the air. An incredible experience,” the 75-year-old czar told English media Sky News.
A video released by the company shows the elegantly winged sports car skidding on all four wheels and suddenly taking off into the sky.

The extraordinary vehicle invented and piloted by Professor Stephen Klein transforms from a car into a ready-to-fly plane in a matter of minutes.
AirCar was approved in 2022 after more than 200 successful takeoffs and landings.
Their car will become the first inter-city flying car in 2021.

The CleanVision co-founder said he hopes the product will be ready for market within a year. Currently this car is powered by a 1.6 liter BMW engine.
According to media outlet The Sun, the car flies at a speed of 190 km/h at an altitude of 8,000 feet.
Apart from a driving licence, those interested in driving an aircar will also need to complete two to three months of specialized driving training, according to Sky News.
