A recent shows Professor Stefan Klein completing two 1,500 feet high flights in his contraption.

He tested it out at Piestany Airport in Slovakia.

Klein is hoping he can sell his flying cars to wealthy individuals and claims to already have a buyer.

He said: "Following the completion of all required flight tests in compliance with EASA regulations, we will deliver a model with a certified ADEPT, 300HP engine within the next 6 next months.

He added: "The good news is, we already have a buyer."

Klein's company is called Klein-Vision and its vehicles look a lot more like cars than other more drone-like offerings.

The flying car is powered by a BMW 1.6 litre engine and can travel at 125mph.
