"First-ever U.S. government approved electric flying car takes flight"
Alef Aeronautics has become the first company to receive Special Airworthiness Certification from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration for its fully electric flying car, marking the first-ever legal approval for such a vehicle to fly in the United States. The car is drivable on public roads and has the capability for takeoff and landing, seating one or two occupants. The certification comes as the FAA works on policies to govern flying cars, and Alef's approval includes limitations on where and why the vehicle is permitted to fly.
