The concept of a flying car is not new - inventors have been trying to add wings to wheeled motor vehicles for decades, with only limited success.
Jim Dukhovny, founder of Alef Aeronautics, hopes to change that equation. His California-based firm has come up with a novel approach to moving terrestrial vehicles into the skies and has attracted at least one prominent venture capitalist.
Based in Santa Clara in the heart of Silicon Valley, Alef has designed the Model A - a swoopy yet relatively conventional-looking electric car - with the ability to take off and land vertically. And of course, to fly. In an interview, he said the hand-built Model A is designed to sell for $300,000, with production and initial deliveries slated in 2025. That price tag, by the way, is the same starting price planned for the Cadillac brand's electric-vehicle flagship, the Celestiq, which should start arriving for customers in early 2024, according to Cadillac parent General Motors CoOne feature that sets the Model A apart from earlier versions of flying cars is how it flies.
