ASKA performs ground and systems testing, on-street driving tests of ASKA™ A5 drive and fly eVTOL
eTradeWire News/10732115
ASKA™ A5 is the world's first drive & fly eVTOL, a real flying car that can travel by road and air
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. - eTradeWire -- ASKA, a Silicon Valley air mobility company, announces successful ground and systems testing as well as on-street driving tests of the ASKA™ A5 drive and fly eVTOL. The innovative ASKA™ A5 is taking supervised road tests around Los Altos, Mountain View, Palo Alto and Stanford University.
"The first full-scale working prototype of the ASKA™ A5 eVTOL debuted in January at CES in Las Vegas. We are making excellent progress toward full flight tests," said Guy Kaplinsky, CEO/Cofounder. "People are curious to see ASKA™ sharing the road with other vehicles. It makes the idea of a flying car seem real."
Maki Kaplinsky, CoFounder/Chair & COO, explains: "ASKA is the first company to start the type certification process with the FAA as a drive and fly eVTOL. The FAA accepted ASKA through their intake board in November 2022 and we are working closely with them."

The size of an SUV, ASKA™ A5 is the world's first drive & fly eVTOL, a real flying car. The 4-seater can travel by road and air.
ASKA™ A5 is capable of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) from a helipad, and can also enter an airfield by driving through the airport gate, then open the wings and take off. It can perform an energy-efficient short/conventional takeoff from the runway using the in-wheel motors and thrust from the props. https://youtu.be/y70peB_pAx4/video_code
ASKA™ A5 makes maximum use of existing infrastructure, such as parking, charging stations, airfields, helipads and runways, for seamless integration into city and suburban landscapes. For vertical take-off or landing, ASKA™ A5 needs only a compact space, such as a helipad or vertiport. The vehicle fits in existing parking spaces, it can be charged at home and EV charging stations. The range extender engine uses premium gasoline purchased at existing automotive gas stations.

ASKA™ A5 is targeted for commercialization in 2026 subject to certification. Pre-order reservations are now being accepted.
