This is the text (if you need help).

Technology means science fiction from the movies is becoming science fact. A company tested a flying car. The "AirCar" flew at a height of 2,500 metres and a speed of 185kph. The 90km journey took 35 minutes. Flying cars are no longer just an idea. The AirCar company said science fiction is now "a reality".

AirCar is road legal. It turns into an airplane in less than three minutes. The company's CEO landed it at an airport. He then pushed a button to turn it into a sports car and drove it into the city. He said the flight was "normal". A new AirCar will have a cruising speed of 300kph and be able to fly 1,000 kilometres non-stop.

Back to the flying car lesson.
