Startup backed by Tesla investor says is building the first real flying car

As it prepares to launch one of, if not the world’s first, 100% electric flying car, Alef hit another milestone this week. Alef announced it signed a mass manufacturing agreement with PUCARA Aero and MYC for aviation-grade parts for its electric flying car. The companies produce parts for industry leaders, including Boeing and Airbus.

Alef’s CEO, Jim Dukhovny, said the company chose PUCARA Aero and MYC “for their impeccable safety record and compliance with major aviation authorities.” PUCARA Aero proposed to build a subset of aviation-grade parts specifically for Alef’s vehicle. The parts will be “high grade” and certified by the FAA, EASA, and other aviation authorities. Alef plans to begin Model A production in Q4 2025, with deliveries starting shortly after.
