Aska, a flying car developed by the American-Israeli startup NFT (Next Future Transportation), is classified as an eVTOL (Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing) vehicle. This means you can drive it like a regular car with its wings folded back or used as a small private airplane with vertical take-off and landing like a helicopter. It uses a total of 14 ducted fans to create lift, while power comes from a large battery pack and there’s even a gasoline range-extender to provide a total flying range of an estimated 350 miles.
Inside the cabin, there is enough room to comfortably accommodate up to three passengers. The company plans to integrate an intelligent autonomous system to navigate and control the vehicle on the road as well as in the air. If Aska manages to reach mass production, it is expected to carry a starting price of about $200,000 USD, but the company behind it is also working on a subscription service with $200-$300 monthly payments.
