Coolest flying cars taking off in 2025

• Flying cars may seem like the stuff of science fiction but there are several companies working on bringing them to market
• Some models have already opened up their preorder lists
• Another company has hinted that flying cars will be available sooner than you might think 

Growing up, you might have dreamed of one day seeing flying cars zipping through the sky, and that dream looks like it could be a step closer to reality.

Several companies are working hard on getting flying cars to market – taking the idea from science fiction and making it real.

The designs for flying cars have a fair bit of range, with some resembling mini-helicopters and others – such as the XPeng Aeroht – looking more reminiscent of an actual car.

If you’re hoping to get your hands on one day, then read on for a round-up of some of the most exciting designs that could be hitting the skies near you one day.

The Sky Switchblade

Dubbed ‘the world’s first flying sports car’, the Samson Sky Switchblade is a three-wheel, street-legal vehicle that you can drive around like any other car.

Unlike any other small car, once you’ve arrived at the airport you can simply swing out the wings and tail in less than three minutes and be on your way.

The Sky Switchblade can fly up to 200 mph and 13,000 feet and will require its owner to have a pilot’s license to fly.

In November last year, the company proudly announced that the Switchblade had completed its first successful test flight – spending around six minutes in the air at an altitude of 500 feet.

The Switchblade is powered by a three-cylinder turbocharged 1.0-liter engine producing 190 horsepower that runs on 91-octane unleaded auto gas rather than aviation fuel.

The reservation list is open now – you can sign up here.
