A rendering of the Aska A5 flying car.
I got to ride in the very first prototype of Aska's flying car. It looked nothing like this rendering of the final version.
  • Flying cars could finally be on the horizon. 
  • Aska, a California-based startup, is working on an electric aircraft that can drive on US roads. 
  • The Aska A5 is scheduled to land in 2026 with a price tag near $800,000. 

Flying cars may be closer to reality than you think. 

Northern California-based startup Aska is trying to finally deliver what humans have been dreaming about for decades: A car that can drive on the road and then, with the flip of a switch, take off into the sky, "Back to the Future" style.
