At first glance, the Model A by Alef Aeronautics might deceive you into thinking it’s just another car blending into the urban landscape. However, as one draws nearer, the illusion dissipates, unveiling a marvel of modern engineering: a cabin encapsulated within a robust carbon fiber mesh. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill vehicle; it’s Alef Aeronautics’ inaugural foray into the realm of flying cars, a concept straight out of science fiction, poised to enter commercial production by 2025.
On 26 June, the world witnessed a leap into the future when the Chinese automotive giant, GAC, pulled the curtains off its latest innovation: the GOVE. This isn’t just another electric vehicle; it’s a harmonious blend of drone and car.
In a defining moment for urban transportation’s future, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has granted Alef Automotive’s flying car, the Model A, its certificate of airworthiness. This paves the way for this transformative vehicle to shift from road to sky as early as 2025.
Potassium compounds are mainly used to produce fertilisers. Many potassium salts are of great importance in industrial applications, including nitrate, carbonate, chloride, bromide, cyanide and sulphate. Potassium carbonate is used, for example, in the manufacture of glass, and potassium hydroxide is used to make detergents and liquid soap. Potassium chloride is used in medicines and in brine. The impressive list has just been extended to include electric vehicle batteries.
