But the dream of its inventor has now become a reality after the 'AirCar' completed its first ever inter-city flight in Slovakia. Engine: Prototype 1 has a 160 horsepower fixed-propeller engine but Prototype 2 will be equipped with a 300 horsepower engine. 'This flight starts a new era of dual transportation vehicles,' said Professor Klein after getting out of the AirCar cockpit. AirCar has wings that unfurl and a single propeller at the rear. AirCar Prototype 2, the pre-production model, will be equipped with a 300 horsepower engine and is expected to have a cruise speed of 300km/h (186mph) and range of 1,000km (621 miles).
