The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has granted special airworthiness certification to a flying car developed by California startup Alef Aeronautics. Inspired by Marty McFly in Back to the Future, the vehicle, called the “Model A,” is the first fully electric vehicle that can both drive and fly to receive U.S. government approval. It is designed to be able to operate on city streets and park in regular car stalls. Alef is currently accepting pre-orders for the Model A, with expected delivery by the end of 2025. The vehicle can fly up to 177 kilometers at a time and travel approximately 320 kilometers as a land vehicle. It takes off and lands vertically, eliminating the need for a runway. However, the car’s flying capabilities are currently limited as the FAA works on policies for electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles.
