Alef Aeronautics, a company specializing in automotive and aviation, successfully tested its Model Zero Ultralight flying car. The vehicle was able to remain airborne for a period of 40 seconds.
However, strict restrictions on media coverage surrounding the launch have raised concerns about transparency. The CEO, Jim Dukhovny, stated that the company anticipates starting production sometime between 2025 and 2026, although delays may occur. Nonetheless, experts view it as a significant breakthrough.
However, concerns remain about safety, regulations, and the practical application of flying cars. Alef nevertheless already has 3,000 pre-orders in place.
Alef is one of several companies working on air taxi and flying car prototypes globally.
