[The car, which was recently unveiled
at a press event in San Mateo, California,
has a driving range of 200 miles (322 km)
and a flight range of 100 miles (160km).
The firm is yet to reveal any footage
of a test flight, however.
Jim Dukhovny (CEO)
described Alef Model A as 'the world's first real flying car',
because it can drive on a regular street
and it doesn't need to take off
from a special designated area,
such as an airport.
'A flying car has to be a car, which means
it can drive on a regular street,
park in a regular parking space.
And it also should have vertical take-off,'
he told the BBC.]
[The Alef Model A, created by Alef Aeronautics
in San Mateo, California,
is a fully electric vehicle with a mesh-covered
body
that conceals eight propellers.
These propellers, which replace the
traditional car motors,
allow it to
take off straight up into the air
from a conventional road,
without the need for any runway space.]
