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.
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.
Alef Aeronautics, based in California, has designed their flying car prototypes to resemble traditional cars and plans to begin selling them in 2025 for $300,000.
