Jim Dukhovny, ALEF Aeronautics CEO: Right now, for most people, for the general consumer, it's 4prohibitively expensive because it's expensive for us to produce one. But it's because it's a very 5low volume production and it's very 6inefficient. The end goal, it should be actually same level or less expensive than Toyota Corolla 4 Focus or anything like that because it's less 7complex.
CNN Narrator: This 8CGI-rendered video shows the automobile flying through the mountains. The 9FAA said that ALEF Aeronautics' vehicle is not the first aircraft of its kind to get a special 10airworthiness certificate. However, the company notes that its vehicle 11stands out because it can drive on roads, fly, and be used in search and rescue. Models from companies like SkyDrive, HoverSurf, Volocopter, and others are yet to 12hit the market and make flying cars a reality.
