The Federal Aviation Administration has certified for testing a vehicle that a California startup describes as a flying car.
It is the first fully electric vehicle that can both fly and travel on roads to receive US government approval.
Alef Automotive said that its vehicle/aircraft, dubbed the “Model A,” is the first flying vehicle that is drivable on public roads and able to park like a normal car.
It also has vertical takeoff and landing capabilities.
It apparently will 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 expects to sell the vehicle for $300,000 each with the first delivery by projected for the end of 2025.
The FAA confirmed that it has issued the company a special airworthiness certificate, allowing for limited purposes that include exhibition, research and development.
