They designed and produced the seats, battery packs, much of the software, propellers, prototype motor, and hardware in-house. "With all of this, we've reached around 85% local production. In the future, we aim to produce the motor and motor controller domestically as well. We're only discussing battery collaborations for now," he stated.

Altunbozar emphasized their goal to enhance low-altitude urban transportation using AirCar and concluded:
"AirCar could be used for public services like air ambulances and firefighting across the city. Driving from Galata Tower to Üsküdar takes an hour—AirCar will do it in one minute. Urban travel will shift to the skies. We have to make this happen. Otherwise, we'll become importers of this technology. We want to act without losing time and bring this innovation to our country. We are ambitious. Once you've physically flown a vehicle, 90% of the job is done."
