Mankind’s primordial dream of flight is taking off with a new twist as a Slovakian prototype of a flying car spreads its wings.

Inspired by the dreamy books about flying by French authors Jules Verne and Antoine de Saint Exupery, Slovakian designer and engineer Stefan Klein has been honing his flying machine since the early 1990s.

“I got the idea to start working on a vehicle of the future at university, but honestly, who hasn’t dreamed of flying while being stuck in the traffic?” Klein said.
