What seemed like science fiction until yesterday is now officially entering production. American company Alef Aeronautics has announced that the "world's first flying car" for use by the general public has entered the production phase and will soon be delivered to its first customers.
According to the Daily Mail, it's the Alef Model A Ultralight, a futuristic vehicle that can take off vertically thanks to eight propellers hidden in the front and rear of the vehicle. Once it's finished flying, the car lands and operates like a regular electric vehicle.
After more than a decade of development, the first vehicles will be hand-built at the company's facilities in Silicon Valley, California. Each car requires several months of craftsmanship and rigorous testing before being delivered to buyers. Initially, only a limited number of customers will test the vehicles in highly controlled conditions, writes A2 CNN.
The Model A Ultralight weighs just 385 kilograms and is classified as a “low-speed” electric vehicle, meaning it cannot exceed 40 km/h on public roads. However, it is certified for flight by the Federal Aviation Authority.
The company says it has received over 3,500 pre-orders, worth a total of over £800 million. The vehicle currently costs around £235,000, but the long-term goal is to significantly reduce the cost with mass production, making the flying car more affordable for the general public.
