The U.S.-based technology company Alef Aeronautics is opening the door to a new era in transportation with its Model A, an electric flying car that can move on land and take off vertically. The Model A, which aims to enter mass production by the end of 2026, has a pre-order price of approximately 13.5 million TL, which is noteworthy.
The US-based technology startup Alef Aeronautics is preparing to fundamentally change the understanding of transportation with its electric vehicle that can move on roads and take off vertically.
The vehicle, named Model A, offers an alternative solution to traffic congestion by combining the classic car form with flight technology.
END OF TRAFFIC WOES
The Model A developed by the company can move on the road like a normal car, but when needed, its hidden propellers activate to lift the vehicle into the air. This way, drivers can take off directly instead of waiting in heavy traffic.
PRICE IS ASTOUNDING
Jim Dukhovny, CEO of Alef Aeronautics, stated that the goal of the project is not only to produce a flying vehicle but also to make this technology accessible to a wide audience in the long term. Speaking at the Mobile World Congress held in Barcelona, Spain, Dukhovny mentioned that the current pre-order price of the vehicle is approximately £235,000 (around 13 million 425 thousand TL), which places the Model A in the luxury car category.
COSTS WILL SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASE
However, the company's main goal is to significantly reduce costs when mass production begins. According to Dukhovny, thanks to high-volume production, the price of the Model A could drop to around £25,000 (approximately 1 million 430 thousand TL) in the coming years. The CEO emphasized that the technology used is not as complex as it seems and that mass production will lower prices.
SPEED DOUBLES ON LAND
The two-seater electric vehicle is designed to be both lightweight and durable thanks to its carbon fiber body. According to the technical information released, the Model A can reach speeds of 177 kilometers per hour in the air and theoretically 320 kilometers per hour on the ground. However, due to legal regulations, the speed on land is planned to be limited to a range of 40–56 kilometers.
CONTROL MECHANISM SIMILAR TO DRONES
The flight system is provided by independent propellers placed in the front and rear sections of the vehicle, while separate motors are used for each wheel on the ground. The company claims that the flight control mechanism is designed similarly to drones and that the vehicle can be learned to operate with a short training.
GOAL: TO START MASS PRODUCTION IN 2026
Alef Aeronautics aims to start mass production of the Model A by the end of 2026. If the plans come to fruition, flying cars could become a part of daily life for the first time.
