Alef Aeronautics Inc. conducted a groundbreaking flight test of its flying car in an urban area, making it the first-ever demonstration of a vehicle driving and taking off vertically. CEO Jim Dukhovny emphasized the significance of this achievement as a turning point in transportation technology. The test was carefully managed for safety, with closed off roads and emergency crews present. The Model A, fully electric, accommodates a pilot and passenger and is available for pre-order at $300,000, with 3,330 orders already placed. Alef plans future models that promise extended capabilities.
This drive and flight test represents an important proof of technology in a real-world city environment, hoping to parallel the significance of the Wright Brothers' Kitty Hawk.
The Alef flying car, a completely electric vehicle with vertical takeoff capabilities, aims to revolutionize transportation, with pre-orders already exceeding 3,300.
