Those who ridiculed the design of the airborne vehicle being produced by a Malaysian firm can choose to be left behind with regard to technological advancement, according to Entrepreneur Development Minister Mohd Redzuan Mohd Yusof.

Redzuan was commenting on the response of netizens to the prototype which was displayed at the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace (Lima) exhibition.

Aerodyne Group business development and consulting senior director Imtyaz Mohd Azzat clarified that his firm was not developing a flying car.

He said the vehicle, known as Vector, was designed to be a point-to-point air transportation system.

It would be used for carrying passengers, cargo delivery, and surveillance purposes.
