AeroMobil has announced its second model flying car, the four-seat AM Next, designed to be part of a fleet of aerial ride-hailing service.
The AM Next is based on the engineering of AeroMobil’s AM4.0, a two-seat luxury supercar and a light aircraft combined.
AeroMobil says the primary business model for AM Next, expected to be ready in 2027, is a fleet aerial ride-hailing service. The company says it will provide significant time-savings on regional routes in the 100-500 mile range, which are too far to drive and too short, or inconvenient, to fly.
Patrick Hessel, CEO of AeroMobil, said, “Following AM4.0, the world’s first production flying car, AM Next will disrupt and democratize the regional travel market. It will provide a better, and in many cases previously unavailable, solution to trips in the 100-500 mile range.
“AeroMobil will leverage AM4.0’s proof of concept of engineering and regulation, and its premium branding, into AM Next’s mass-market aerial ride-hailing service.”
