Israeli/American Company Has Opened Sales for Prototypes of the Flying Electric Car That Could Revolutionize the Transportation Market

An Israeli/American company ASKA, called NFT Inc, is opening up the possibility for pre-order of the foldable electric vehicle, which can take off and land vertically. The flying electric car offers the option to make a long trip on the road or, if you prefer to take a bit of a risk, in the sky. The project promises to revolutionize the transportation market in the future.

The flying electric car was initially designed in 2019, being focused more on an aircraft. However, time has passed and the project is now more similar to a VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing Aircraft). Today, it has a cabin with 4 seats, quite similar to a helicopter, and a V-shaped tail.

Range of the Flying Electric Vehicle in the Air

The flying electric car can fold its wings, making them narrow enough to drive on the streets, amidst regular cars. The wings unfold normally, allowing for vertical takeoff and landing. The company states that the ASKA has the capacity to fly up to 400 km, reaching a speed of 240 km/h. In addition, the electric vehicle will have the possibility of a hydrogen range extender, increasing its range by 150 km.

The ASKA will have the ability to travel at a speed of 112 km/h on the ground. Certainly, anyone driving an electric car like this on the road will attract a lot of attention and will be widely photographed.

The pre-sale indicates that having one of these in your hands will not be cheap. ASKA highlighted that the starting price of the product is $789,000, almost R$4.5 million at the current exchange rate. The first prototype from the company is expected to be launched only at the end of next year. After that, there will be another three years working on the final details, such as licensing, etc. The expectation is that it will be launched only in 2026.
