history

The Aeromobil 2.0 was presented in April 2007 at the AERO air show in Friedrichshafen.

Version 2.5 was shown on the fly in a short video in September 2013. As a result, critical questions about aerodynamic stability were raised in the specialist press.

According to the developers, version 3.0, which is very close to a marketable product, was shown on October 29, 2014 at the Pioneers Festival in Vienna .

On May 8, 2015, a prototype of the Aeromobil crashed at Nitra Airport . The pilot Stefan Klein, designer of the device, who had been testing his aircraft here for years, was able to save himself by parachute and was injured. Company spokesman Stefan Vadocz on the course of the accident: "The pilot was confronted with an unexpected problem at a height of around 300 m and triggered the parachute system."
