# Startup Unveils Freakish-Looking Flying Car With Folding Wings

## Turning Heads

On Friday, *CNET* [published](<https://www.cnet.com/news/heres-aska-flying-car-that-could-whisk-you-to-work-in-2025/>) an exclusive first look at startup New Future Transportation's flying car, and it is wild.

In driving mode, the Aska looks something like what might happen if the Batmobile and a Delorean had a baby. But when it's time to fly, the car gets even weirder — by unfolding the massive wings stored on its roof until they reach a wingspan of nearly 40 feet.

## Last Mile

New Future chief executive Maki Kaplinsky told *CNET* the Aska will be capable of carrying three passengers, who will just need to find an open area about the size of a few parking spaces when they're ready to transition from driving to [flying mode](<https://futurism.com/flying-cars-greener-electric-cars>).

After the car extends its wings, it'll take off vertically, and its autonomous system will ferry the passengers a distance of up to 150 miles. After that, it'll land so they can resume driving to their destination.

## Your Next Car

New Future expects to begin test-flying the craft by the first quarter of 2020, with a goal of starting sales in 2025. The initial cost will be around $200,000, but it hopes to eventually bring that down to $50,000.

"We are not building something for rich people," company chairman Guy Kaplinsky told *CNET*. "We are building something that everyone will be able to afford."
