AeroMobil is accepting pre-orders for its flying car, but is only producing 500 units. AeroMobil CEO Juraj Vaculik told Business Insider that the ultimate goal is to launch a version of the vehicle as part of a shared mobility service in the future, but Vaculik said it's too early to get into specifics about that plan.
The vehicle is certified to operate in Europe, but AeroMobil plans to eventually release it in the US, AeroMobil CTO Douglas MacAndrew told Business Insider. Once it's cleared to operate in the US, AeroMobil will look to introduce it in China as well.
Terrafugia, a startup born out of MIT, is accepting reservations for its Transition flying car. Owners can legally operate the vehicle if they have a Sports Pilot License, showing the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has already cleared a path for vehicles of this nature.
"The aircraft regulation for both the US and Europe are very very similar indeed," MacAndrew said. "Within months of being able to sell the vehicle in Europe we will also be able to sell it in the US market."
