While not as sleek as the Renault AIR4, the Aska A5 eVTOL flying car is one of the first to receive FAA approval for test flights, alongside the Alef Model A. Power comes from a proprietary power system consisting of lithium-ion battery packs and a gasoline engine that acts as an onboard range extender, good for a 250-mile flight range.
When in drive mode, ASKA uses in-wheel motor technology to enable all four of them to be placed outside the fuselage for AWD traction, improved aerodynamics, as well as maximizing interior space to comfortably seat four passengers. Flight mode sees the vehicle’s wings with six rotors unfold, enabling it to take off vertically or use a traditional runway. Most importantly, the hybrid propulsion system provides at least 30-minutes of reserve flight time for added safety. How much will it cost? The company states that it should retail for around $789,000 USD once released. So far, the company has purportedly received $50-million in pre-orders alone.

ASKA is positioned as a new generation vehicle that combines the convenience of an automobile with the ease and efficiency of VTOL and STOL flight. ASKA is a vehicle that addresses not only consumers, there is also significant business potential in emergency response use, military use, as well as on-demand ride-sharing mobility services,” said Guy Kaplinsky, Aska Co- Founder / CEO.
