In a world where technological boundaries are constantly being pushed, flying cars have leapt from the pages of science fiction into our reality. The recent breakthrough by AirCar, Turkey’s pioneering electric flying car startup, marks a significant milestone in urban air mobility that could revolutionize how we think about transportation.

On April 5, 2025, history was made in Bilişim Vadisi, Turkey. AirCar’s founder and CEO, Eray Altunbozar, successfully completed a manned test flight with their two-seater flying car prototype, positioning Turkey among just five countries globally to achieve this remarkable feat.
The challenging test occurred in winds exceeding 35 km/h (22 mph), lasted approximately 10 minutes, and maintained an altitude of 8 meters (26 feet) following strict safety protocols. This wasn’t merely a technical achievement but represents a bold step toward reimagining urban transportation.
“This flight is a concrete step toward the future of urban transport,” Altunbozar stated after the test. “With AirCar, flying cars are no longer science fiction. They’re becoming reality—and it’s happening in Turkey.”
Next-Generation Technology for Silent, Sustainable Transport
What makes AirCar’s two-seater model particularly impressive is its focus on shared and autonomous aerial transportation. The vehicle boasts:
- Range of 50-80 km (31-50 miles) on a single charge
- Payload capacity of 200 kg (440 lbs)
- Noise levels five times lower than helicopters
- Low operational costs
- High-safety design featuring 8 electric motors
This combination of features addresses many of the concerns that have traditionally held flying cars back: range anxiety, noise pollution, safety considerations, and economic viability.
Transforming Urban Commutes
Imagine traveling from one side of a congested city to another in just minutes instead of hours. AirCar’s vision includes developing their two-seater model as an autonomous air taxi, with AirCar Ports planned across cities to enable quick, safe, and comfortable point-to-point flights.
In Istanbul, for example, AirCar aims to reduce travel time between any two points to an average of just 10 minutes. A journey from Maslak to Kadıköy—normally a traffic-laden 45-minute drive—would take just 5 minutes.
“AirCar won’t just get you where you’re going faster—it will make possible things we can’t even imagine now,” explained Altunbozar. “Like having lunch with a friend across town during your break or landing in the middle of a forest to exercise in nature.”
From Prototype to Production
The company isn’t stopping at successful test flights. Their single-seater model is already generating significant interest in the US and Europe, particularly for recreational and training purposes. AirCar plans to prepare this vehicle for mass production by the end of the year and begin assembling their pilot factory.
With support from globally respected institutions like TÜBİTAK and the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), and under Turkey’s Ministry of Industry and Technology Strategic Roadmap 2030, AirCar is positioned for accelerated progress.
The Future of Transportation is Here
As we witness these developments, it’s clear that the transportation landscape is undergoing a transformation that could be as significant as the shift from horse-drawn carriages to automobiles. Flying cars promise to free us from the constraints of ground-based infrastructure, offering new levels of mobility and connection.

The Sky’s No Longer the Limit
AirCar’s achievement signals that we’re entering an era where the boundaries between ground and air transportation are blurring. Founded in 2019 by Eray Altunbozar, AirCar Technology and Aviation Inc. aims to provide clean, quiet, and autonomous urban air transport as Turkey’s first eVTOL (electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing) initiative.
Whether for personal transport, air taxis, or cargo operations, flying cars like those being developed by AirCar represent not just a new mode of transportation, but a fundamental shift in how we conceive of mobility, urban planning, and even our daily schedules.
As we stand on the precipice of this transportation revolution, one thing is clear: the future of mobility is looking up—literally.
