Due to the inclination/rotation of the jet engines (4×4 system) the air car maneuver on variable heights and inclines his trim depending on the cruising speed needs.

Each of the four Rolls-Royce jet engines of the aircraft conceived by Lazzarini will be able to independently adjust its inclination and rotation, guaranteeing stability and great manoeuvrability.
There are currently no plans to bring the AirCar into production, it remains just a concept. But Pierpaolo Lazzarini, founder of the studio, hopes to build a full-scale prototype by 2024, before launching the product on the market.
