Alef Aeronautics is an EV startup aiming to produce and sell the first flying car. InsideEVs talked with its CEO on its plan to bring the concept to fruition.
Building a car is no easy task. Building a car with a new propulsion system not available off the shelf makes that task even harder. Building a car with a new propulsion system that can also fly— well, treacherous might be the best word to describe that.
"The two biggest constraints are the size and the weight," Dukhovny said."We are literally fighting for every pound." While building a passenger drone allows for massive propeller blades creating optimal lift, the Model A's silhouette is that of a passenger vehicle. Fitting within these tight guidelines, the Alef team had to completely rethink the design for the Model A to get respectable range figures.
The implications of a flying car are many."What's important right now is that we have the most important functionality: the full-size driving, the full-size takeoff, and the full-size flying, so we've got that functionality," Dukhovny told."But there's still a way to go before we get there.
