The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has approved Alef Aeronautics’ flying car, the “Model A,” a Special Airworthiness Certification, signifying the green light for road and air testing.

Alef Aeronautics, based in San Mateo, has become the first company worldwide to navigate the regulatory complexities surrounding airborne vehicles.

The ‘Model A’ is operated entirely on electric power with an optional hydrogen power upgrade at a higher price.

This flying car, which can be driven on roads like any conventional vehicle, has been designed for vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL), enabling it to fly like an aircraft.

“cancer foundation who has been trying to find a cure for over 50 years”

If all cancers were cured tomorrow it would be catastrophic for the health care industry.

Their plan is to “try to find a cure” for the next million years if they can get away with it.

The underside better be designed to stop high caliber rifle rounds. Boyz-n-da-hood have a new sport.

“High-Dose Ivermectin Shrinks Cancer Metastases
Recently I reported on a case of Stage IV Colon Cancer that appeared hopeless. The gentleman, Rick, had widespread metastatic disease affecting the liver and lymph nodes and was told his cancer was “unsurvivable.” At most, he had six months left, according to his Oncologist.”

Yes, my sentiments exactly, including the relative safety of heli autorotation at least over good terrain. Flying model drones, it is remarkable how fast they drop when a motor burns out. g (acceleration) = G*M/R^2

And very difficult to implement a safety chute on a drone. Plus, at low altitude where they’d often be would do no good anyway.

Yes cgbg, My wife was diagnosed 5.5 years ago with metastatic stage-4 cancer. Her treatment bills average $37,000 / Month.

Thank goodness for Medicare Advantage insurance, her out-of-pocket is currently limited at $4500/year.

Yap, there is way too much money in cancer business. No cure will ever be found. If someone finds a cure, she better hire 6 burly bodyguards before announcing the cure.
