Klein's flying supercar rolls out in 2026, with an amphibian to follow
More than 30 years in the making, this long-range, high-speed, flight-tested, two-seat flying car is slated to be certified later this year, with customer deliveries beginning in early 2026. The team tells us an amphibious version could follow.
Outside the car, the wings are lifting and unfolding and locking into place for a 27-foot (8.2-m) wingspan, and the tail is extending backward for optimal positioning in a process that takes about 80 seconds – and the AirCar's engine is disconnected from driving the wheels and instead hooked up to the pusher prop in behind the cabin. Those are pretty impressive numbers – this is a true interstate touring machine that can cut long-distance commute times or make easy work of island-to-island hops anywhere a runway or grass strip is available. The company has some interesting plans for what's next – Zajac tells me the two-seat cabin can relatively easily be reworked into a three-seater without modifications to the exterior dimensions, with the pilot in the middle and two passengers set a little further back and out to the sides, just like McLaren's Speedtail supercar.
