Powered by a BMW engine and normal fuel, the AirCar flew for 35 minutes between two Slovakian airports in 2021, using runways for take-off and landing.

It took just over two minutes to transform from a car into an aircraft.

Now vehicles made based on its design will be used within a "specific geographical region" of China.

Hebei Jianxin Flying Car Technology Company, headquartered in Cangzhou, has purchased exclusive rights to manufacture and use AirCar aircraft inside an undisclosed area.

Trying to instill FOMO just because the Chinese are coming for it!!!

Take a look at the posts OP makes โ€“ they seem obsessed with posting negative articles about China.

    I have absolutely no interest of posting negative articles on China or any country, company or person. Some friends of mine are Chinese, and they largely support these posts, just fyi.

    You're basically making the "I have black friends so I can't be racist" argument. Your post history is like 90% articles like these:

    • Chinese Communist Party-Backed Businessman in Fiji is a Top Australian Criminal Target
    • Calls for sanctions against China after Beijing accused of cyber espionage in US and UK
    • China's Private Property Developers Face Persistent Funding Constraints, Fitch Ratings Says
    • UK lawmakers claim 'harassment, impersonation, and attempted hacking' from China
    • Millions of U.S. citizens' online accounts have been caught up in a "sinister" Chinese hacking plot that targeted US officials, officials say
    • Threats, fear and surveillance: Chinese students in the UK say they are scared to return home and worry for their families in China after being followed and harassed by the regime in Beijing
    • Oxford University held training sessions attended by Chinese doctors accused of illegally harvesting organs

    Like, this is not a normal amount of articles about China. This feels like an obsession. If I was posting a similar amount of pro-China articles, I'd rightfully be called a shill.
