A futuristic vehicle, which has been postponed as a firefighter for a serpentine traffic jam, has taken its first flight. A vehicle worth Rs 2.5 crore ($ 300,000) of Aleph Aeronautics can be operated as a normal car on the roads, but also contains a bonnet and boot propellers that allow it to be removed at any time. The US-based automaker released the first video of the growing vehicle in the sky, which appears directly out of a science-fi film.
Using distributed electric propulsion, with a mesh layer covering the propeller blade, the car was capable of climbing the ground. According to a report in New York PostThe company used a prototype for testing that was an ultralight version of the Alef model Zero.
Comparing the achievement of Kitty Hawk Video of Wright Brothers since 1903, ELEF CEO Jim Dukhovani said: “This drive and flight test represents an important evidence of technology in a real -world city environment.”

Commercial operation
For commercial operations, Alef is expecting a two-seater alef model to launch a flying car with a 110 mile flying range and 200 mile driving range. The vehicle is expected to have flight capabilities as well as autopyloting. The company said that UT had received 3,300 pre-orders so far.
By 2035, ALEF is expected to unveil an updated version called Alef Model Z, which would be a four-person-driven flying sedan that can fly at a maximum of 200 miles with a 400 mile driving range.
