Headline: Flying Car Soars Over Parked Vehicle In Landmark US Test
Caption: Flying Car Soars Over Parked Vehicle In Landmark US Test. A flying car has successfully soared over another vehicle in a groundbreaking test in the US. Alef Aeronautics' Model Zero took off over a parked car in California, a first outside a controlled test. CEO Jim Dukhovny calls it a historic moment, likening it to the Wright Brothers’ first flight. Unlike other prototypes, the Model Zero looks like a regular car but hides its rotors inside the chassis. Fully electric, it boasts a 320km driving range and 160km flight range. Alef aims to make flying cars accessible, not just luxury items for the rich. Over 3,300 pre-orders secured for its Model A, set for production this year. Priced at $300K, the Model A is Alef’s first commercial flying car, with a $35K Model Z in development. Designed to drive like a car and take off vertically, it’s built to solve urban congestion. With a standard parking size and regulatory compliance, Alef's flying car blends seamlessly into city life.
