A sci-fi dream takes off

A futuristic flying car—hailed as a solution to traffic congestion—has successfully taken its first flight. The $300,000 Alef Aeronautics vehicle can function as a regular car on roads but is also equipped with propellers in the bonnet and boot, allowing it to take off vertically.

The US-based company released a stunning video showcasing the car soaring into the sky, evoking scenes straight out of a science-fiction movie.

A milestone in aviation and automotive innovation

Using distributed electric propulsion and a mesh layer covering the propeller blades, the prototype—an ultralight version of the Alef Model Zero—took to the air.

Comparing the breakthrough to the Wright Brothers’ first flight in 1903, Alef Aeronautics CEO Jim Dukhovny said:

“This drive and flight test represents an important proof of technology in a real-world city environment.”
