The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) just certified for testing a vehicle a California startup calls a flying car, CNN reports. It’s the first fully electric vehicle to get U.S. government approval that can both fly and travel on roads.
Alef Automotive said its “Model-A” vehicle-aircraft is the first flying vehicle that is drivable on public roads and can park like a normal car, CNN reports.
It has vertical takeoff and landing capabilities and will be able to carry one or two occupants. Its range will be 200 miles on the road and 110 miles in the air, according to reports.
The company expects to sell each vehicle for $300,000 with the first delivery projected for the end of 2025.
It will only be allowed to go roughly 25 miles per hour on the road and still needs National Highway Traffic Safety Administration approval.
