A flying car capable of hitting speeds over 100mph (160kmh) and altitudes above 8,000ft (2,500m) has been issued with a certificate of airworthiness by the Slovak Transport Authority.
The hybrid car-aircraft, AirCar, is equipped with a BMW engine and runs on regular petrol-pump fuel.
It takes two minutes and 15 seconds to transform from car into aircraft.
The certification followed 70 hours of flight testing and more than 200 take-offs and landings, the company said.
