However, the special airworthiness certification places restrictions on the areas and objectives for which 'Model A' may fly.
The FAA is currently developing regulations for electronic vertical takeoff and landing aircraft and how eVTOLs interface with ground infrastructure. As a result, Alef's Special Airworthiness Certificate restricts the areas and objectives for which Alef may fly.
Alef reports the flying car can provide a driving range of 200 miles and a flight range of 110 miles . Alef's Model A production is expected to start towards the end of 2025, with deliveries slated to begin shortly after.
