"Make my word: A combination airplane and motorcar is coming. You may smile, but it will come" ---Henry Ford. 1940
Holy grail of modern day invention? The AeroMobil 2.5 hybrid vehicle is the brainchild of designers Stefan Klein and Jurak Vaculik based in Bratislava, in the Slovak Republic.
The incredible flying car has been developed to let drivers skip traffic jams and take to the skies.
The vehicle can be driven on normal roads as well as being flown as a two-seater airplane, as it is able take off and land at any airport, 'opening the door to real door-to-door travel,' according to a Slovakian company.
The vehicle has a maximum speed of 99mph when driven as a car, but in airplane mode can soar through the skies at 124mph.
The flying car is powered by a large propeller at its rear. The company has been working on the concept to try and develop a vehicle that could become an 'integral part' of the regular ways that people travel.
