The Federal Aviation Administration FAA has moved the United States from the Flintstones to the age of the Jetsons with one major decision.
According to the BBC, the FAA—a division of the U.S. Department of Transportation responsible for efficient aero-space travel—has issued a Special Airworthiness Certificate to a flying car model developed by Alef Aero-nautics, which will allow the vehicle to fly in limited locations for exhibition, research and developmental purposes.
The founders of Alef Aero-nautics, a California-based company, started working on the concept in 2015 and within four years, created its first full-size flying-car prototype, a huge leap for a study called Advanced Air Mobility AAM.
AAM is reportedly an umbrella term used for highly automated passenger or cargo-carrying flying aircrafts, typically referred to as air taxis or vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircrafts.
The name of the flying car the company is pushing is Armada Model Zero, a fully electric vehicle that takes off and lands vertically.
