World's first flying car 'Model A' gets flight certified [View all]
I wonder if I'll live long enough to drive/fly one? Magic 8Ball says "doubtful"
World’s first flying car ‘Model A’ gets flight certified, and it’s 100% electric
A fully electric car you can drive on public roads and fly to skip traffic may sound like something out of a sci-fi movie, but Alef Aeronautics is making it a reality. The company revealed Tuesday that its flying car, “Model A,” became the first of its kind to receive legal approval to fly from the US government.
The same year Marty McFly from Back to the Future traveled to, well, the future (2015), the idea of Alef’s flying car was also born.
In 2016, the company built its first subscale prototype to fit specific constraints, including driving like a real car, having vertical takeoff abilities, and being relatively affordable.
