An aeronautical company in the United States has launched images that show a conceptual version of its flying car performing vertical takeoff before flying on a SUV.
Jim Dukhovny, CEO of Alef Aeronautics, told the BBC senior technology reporter Chris Vallance, who had thousands of early orders and expected to start production in 12 months.
For around $ 300,000 (£ 237,000), the company says that buyers will obtain an electric flying car with an planned air range of 110 km (68 miles). But taking a friend to take a turn can be complicated: the cabin only has enough space for people and a half.
As Vallance points out, Alef Aeronautics is not the only ones who try to make flying cars take off with buyers, and there are great technological and regulatory obstacles to overcome.
