During a test flight on Friday, Aeromobil's flying-car prototype crashed, after the pilot, designer Stefan Klein, pulled the parachute. Klein suffered no injuries, according to Aeromobil's statement, and the airplane was "only partially damaged." News photos show the aircraft apparently mostly intact, with some damage to the fuselage.
"Experience and data from the test flight will be evaluated and implemented in further development of the flying car," the company said. According to news reports, Klein, 54, was taken to a hospital for examination after complaining of back pain, but was later released. The company has been flight-testing the aircraft since last October.
No other details about the flight test or the condition of the airplane have been made available.
