No plane Jane: World’s first flying car has grand reveal two years before launch date

By Katherine Donlevy
Published Sep. 28, 2023

It’s flying into the future — of driving.

The world’s first flying car made its grand debut Monday at the Detroit Auto Show — wowing crowds just two months after gaining legal approval.

California-based Alef Aeronautics unveiled its swanky Model A prototype, which closely resembles a standard sedan except for its UFO-esque bubble-like seating area big enough to fit two passengers with an affinity for soaring.

The history-making vehicle was not flown at the annual event — Alef is still roughly two years away from starting production on the first flyable car.

“It’s still not the final consumer version,” founder and CEO Jim Dukhovny told Robb Report.

We’ve had flying cars since the 50s.

Were George and Jane Jetson there?

I have waited my entire life for a George Jetson flying car.
