Flying car company Alef Aeronautics has signed an agreement with a joint venture between PUCARA Aero and MYC to manufacture aviation grade certifiable parts for Alef’s Model A flying car.
The combined services include engine parts, structural assemblies and installation of electrical, hydraulic and avionics systems, according to a press release. PUCARA Aero proposes to manufacture a subset of aviation grade parts for Alef’s flying car. Parts are planned to be of a high grade and suitable for certification with FAA, EASA and other aviation authorities.
“With a growing number of pre-orders and approaching its final design, Alef began to sign agreements to prepare for mass manufacturing for our Model A car. Safety is our number one priority, so we chose PUCARA Aero and MYC for their impeccable safety record, and compliance with major aviation authorities,” said Jim Dukhovny, CEO of Alef.
Alef’s flying car is 100% electric, drivable on public roads and has vertical takeoff and landing capabilities.
PUCARA Aero is the subsidiary in Valencia, Spain of a group with experience manufacturing aviation grade parts for Boeing and Airbus. MYC (Montajes y Cableados Aeronauticos SL) based in Madrid, Spain is experienced in designing, manufacturing and assembling parts and components for Airbus and diverse aeronautical companies in Europe.
Alef, based in San Mateo, CA, is developing a road-legal passenger car capable of achieving vertical takeoff and forward flight. Alef recently announced the opening of a new fundraising round. More information can be found at https://alef.aero.
