To achieve pioneer status in any field requires boldness and a daring spirit. Jean-Michel Jarre, renowned for his contributions to electronic music, embodies this ethos, stepping beyond of his comfort zone to ride in a flying automobile as the first civilian passenger.
Introduced in 2019 by Stefan Klein’s Klein Vision, the AirCar represents a leap in transportation innovation, serving as both a car and a light aircraft. Recently, Jarre started on the AirCar’s second intercity flight, underscoring its potential as a revolutionary mode of transport.
Flying from Piestany to Nitra in Slovakia for the 2024 Starmus festival, Jarre’s journey showcases the AirCar’s versatility. Displayed at Starmus, the AirCar offers a look into the future of mobility, bridging the gap between ground and air travel.
Powered by a 160-hp BMW engine and boasting a Certificate of Airworthiness, the AirCar combines road and air capabilities seamlessly. While regulations for flying cars remain nascent, Klein envisions widespread adoption of the AirCar soon.
