The business declared that the Model A car has been granted Special Airworthiness Certification by the FAA of the USA.
The government of the United States has granted sanction for Alef Aeronautics’ flying car. The company has announced that the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has granted Special Airworthiness Certification to their Model A car. The company blog announced the development. This is a great achievement because this is the first time a car like this has been allowed to be sold in the United States. This kind of car has never been allowed on the road before in the history of cars..
In a statement, the business said, “The FAA is tirelessly working on its policies for electrical vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) vehicles, as well as regulations governing interactions between eVTOLs and ground infrastructure.”
Coming soon: the world’s first flying car
In 2016, Alef Aeronautics constructed its first prototype in order to meet specified specifications, such as being able to operate like a car, having the ability to take off and land, and being affordable. These conditions were met. The manufacturer claims a driving range of 110 miles for the Model A, and a flying range of 200 miles. The company also confirmed that the vehicle would be available for purchase in October of 2022. More than 440 bookings were made by the year’s end.
Accordingly, “Alef’s Special Airworthiness Certificate consequently restricts the locations and purposes for which Alef may fly,” the statement continued.

The flying automobile gets its power entirely from electric motors, can take off and land in a vertical posture, and includes seating for two people. There’s no longer any reason not to discuss the financial consequences of our decision. The flying car may be yours for just $300,000. This is quite close to the equivalent in Indian rupees of Rs 2.46 crore. Even obstacles and accidents are no match for its ability to safely drive around them.
By the year 2025, Alef plans to have the flying cars ready for delivery to customers. CEO Jim Dukhovny remarked that the company’s early pre-orders “are an incredible validation of the market potential we’re looking to satisfy” as Alef strives to build the first “real flying car” in history. “From both individual and corporate consumers,” the company has received pre-orders for 440 vehicles.
