Alef's flying car has been given the green signal by the FAA, marking a major milestone in aviation history. 🚗✈️ VTOL
“We’re excited to receive this certification from the FAA,” Alef CEO Jim Dukhovny said in a statement. “It allows us to move closer to bringing people an environmentally friendly and faster commute, saving individuals and companies hours each week.”that it issued the certificate for a precursor to the production model . That means the Model A, which is currently on pre-sale, will also need to be cleared to fly by the FAA.
It’s also worthwhile pointing out that approval only allows the aircraft to be used for experimental purposes, such as exhibition, research, and development. It’s not like the average Joe can jump in the car for a test drive; it will be at least a couple of years before that happens. The company will have to wait for the FAA to certify eVTOLs for commercial use before it can sell, fly, or drive the Model A.
