Alef Aeronautics, which Elon Musk’s closely followed and invested by SpaceX, successfully performed the first test flight of his model A flying car. The test was carried out on a public road in California, USA, and the model A took over vertically and crossed a vehicle in front of it. So, will he really go into mass production?

Musk -supported Flying Car Model A test flight successfully completed!
In fact, the model A is a fully electric flying car that can be used as both land and aircraft. The vehicle offers a range of 322 km of land travel and 177 km flight range. One of the most remarkable features is that drivers trapped in traffic can take off immediately and allow them to overcome obstacles.
The design of the vehicle has eight closed rotor. The rotors are located in the body of the car. The model A is stable thanks to the air flow in the body while taking off. In addition, during the flight, the pilot cabin rotates 90 degrees, making the driver always in a horizontal position.

Model A’s sales price is determined as 300 thousand dollars. Although it is not very cheap, 3 thousand 300 orders were received. In fact, the first deliveries are planned to be made in the last quarter of this year. Alef also plans to develop a more affordable model Z version. This model will be offered with a price tag of $ 35,000 and will be four people.
After the test flight, some social media users described Model A’s ventilation as a “groundbreaking”, while others expressed their doubts about whether this concept is suitable for daily use. Due to security concerns, how to control flying vehicles at the time of an accident and how the arrangements will work is still a question mark.
However, Alef CEO Jim Dukhovny said that flying cars will be an important part of the transportation of the future and they will take the highest level of security. Do you think flying cars really change urban transportation? How practical can they be in daily life? You can write your opinions in the comments section below…
