Many automotive companies have presented their plans and prototypes of flying cars, so the idea of a future filled with them is nothing new. But perhaps some of them gain more attention because of their uniqueness amount others. For example, Alef Aeronautics recently announced its prototype flying car that can take off vertically and fly like a helicopter up to 110 miles on a single charge.
More so, it can be driven on the road just like an ordinary car. But perhaps the most interesting part is that Alef promises to begin delivering their first flying car model by the end of 2025.
Alef Aeronautics will sell their first flying car at around $300,000 and will be the only road-certified flying car that can do vertical takeoff and landings like an electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, as per Robb Report.
The Santa Clara, California-based company introduced their two-seater Model A in October, saying it would be on a pre-sale deposit of $1,500 in the first quarter of 2023. They estimated the first deliveries would be in the fourth quarter of 2025.
The car includes a carbon-fiber body with an open, mesh-like top with four propellers on each side. The entire vehicle turns on its side once it takes off, in which the two-seat cockpit will swivel to allow the propellers to steer it like a giant drone.
