New flying car unveiled at Detroit Auto Show

STORY: "The mesh allows the air through," Alef CEO, Jim Dukhovny explains. "This is what you need for the vertical takeoff."

He expects the car to begin production at the end of 2025 for those who put down a deposit on the total price tag of $300,000.

While no flying demo was offered at the Detroit auto show, Alef has already received a Special Airworthiness Certification that facilitates testing.
