FAA Approves Certified Testing For A Flying Car

The vehicle is not the first aircraft of its kind to get the certification, but it is the first that has the ability to function both on road and in the air.

The FAA has certified testing for a flying car.

Alef Automotive said that its vehicle/aircraft called the ‘Model A’, is the first flying vehicle that is also drive-able on public roads and able to park like a normal car. It also has vertical takeoff and landing capabilities.

The vehicle is expected to be able to carry one or two occupants and will have a road-range of 200 miles and a flying range of 110 miles.

The company is expected to sell the car for $300 thousand each with the first delivery projected for the end of 2025.

The FAA issued Alef Automotive a special airworthiness certificate, allowing for limited purposes that include exhibition, research and development.
