An aeronautical company in the US has released footage showing a concept version of its flying car performing a vertical take-off before flying over an SUV.
Jim Dukhovny, the CEO of Alef Aeronautics, told the BBC’s senior technology reporter Chris Vallance, that he had thousands of pre-orders and hoped to start production within 12 months.
For about $300,000 (£237,000) the company said that buyers will get an electric flying car with a predicted airborne range of 110km (68 miles). But taking a friend for a spin may prove tricky – the cockpit only has enough room for one and a half people.
Alef Aeronautics are not the only ones trying to make flying cars take off with buyers, and there are huge technological and regulatory hurdles to overcome.
