Alef CEO: 2025 target for flying car 'actually pretty realistic'

Jim Dukhovny, CEO and co-founder of U.S. startup Alef Aeronautics, says the company has reached 2,850 preorders for its flying car, and is still on track for the end of 2025 to begin production.

The nost obvious conman ever 😂

How can he be the CEO and not understand how airplane wings work? His explanation of the air moving faster underneath and pushing up is incorrect. (The air actually moves faster over the curved upper surface and sucks upward.) I think this may be another delusional flying startup mostly designed with investors as the target market. Poor Tim.

How to conman 101

[@rowshambow]

Its weird this company has no test videos yet while all the others do

[@KL-0102]

No demo!?

[@opinionatedopiner]

This has zero chance of being approved to fly. ZERO. And that guy looks and kind of sounds like Trevor Milton. I can't believe someone gave him money. 😂

It's already been inspected by the FAA and given certification.

I DONT UNDERSTAND, why did they not pick an even slightly less sleazy looking guy for their obvious scam?!

Sir Coke-A-Lot 😂

I hope they have filed patent for this, so no more fools rush in 😂😂😂😂😂

*IMPOSSIBLE car.* You can't get enough thrust from rotors *without breaking laws of physics* - ask your high school physics teacher. Rotors would be huge - see drones and helicopters (ask ChatGPT or Gemini if you don't believe me). Other critical issues: impossible 'tilting cabin' (even with fly-by-wire for all systems), driver/passenger safety, weight including the heavy battery, and on and on. But prove me wrong, we'd all love to see a FLYING, DRIVING PROTOTYPE!

Look ALEF patent=huge data...NO noise data, dB ???

[@kathyfann]

Most impressive! We are excited about this.

[@wzep263]

The could be the biggest scam ever. Anyway, let him have fun to fulfill his childhood dream. No one will fall for this toy.

[@riph5611]

That guy looks like a scammer from the Middle East.😁

[@kathyfann]
