 The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has given the green light for the first-ever flying car to undergo flight tests.

The electric flying car by Alef Aeronautics.

The 100% electric car is manufacture by automobile and aviation giant Alef Aeronautics in California.  Alef Aeronautics' goal is to produce and promote flying cars.

With the first ever cars now produced, the FAA gave it legal permission to test the vehicle on the road and sky, media reports said.

The first flying car is referred to as "Model A," and it is required to run a test before releasing it to the public.

The vehicle will expectedly have a road range of 200 miles and a flying range of 110 miles, reports say.

The company stated that it is the first to receive a Special Airworthiness Certification from the FAA, USA Today reported, which limits the locations where the vehicle can travel while airborne.

Furthermore, the company must report to the US government if its flying car experiences any issues or malfunctions under the Code of Federal Regulations.

The company states that its newest innovation can also be driven on public roads and has vertical takeoff and landing capabilities but cannot do so faster than 25 miles per hour.

Alef Aeronautics stressed that the driver will be able to resort to the vehicle's airborne capabilities should they need to travel at a faster speed.
