Founded in 2015 and based in Santa Clara, California is a sustainable electric transportation company designing and developing a road-legal passenger car capable of achieving vertical takeoff and forward flight. Alef’s goal is to enable faster, easier commutes and alleviate the burden of urban congestion through the use of proprietary technology that elevates the vehicle safely and quietly above everyday traffic.
The Alef founding team of Constantine Kisly, Pavel Markin, Oleg Petrov and Jim Dukhovny has over 70 years of experience in engineering and technology development and has been working on the Alef flying car since 2015.
Alef has been test driving and test flying the Alef full-size prototype since 2019.
It earned early support from distinguished investors and industry veterans, led by Tim Draper (who, among others, was one of the first venture capitalists to invest in Tesla), former head of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Ford Aerospace Dr. Anthony
Tether, NBA star Luis Scola, Bugatti and Jaguar designer Hirash Razaghi and others.
The first product is the Alef “Model A”, the only drivable flying car with vertical take-off and landing capabilities, fitting within existing urban infrastructure for driving and parking. The Alef “Model A” flying car has a driving range of 200 miles and a flight range of 110 miles. The gimbaled cabin design and elevon system provide a smooth, stable ride and flight, keeping occupants stable. There are no exposed propellers for added safety, dampening the sound, and saving space. Key safety components include, amongst others, Distributed Electric Propulsion (DEP), triple to octuple redundancy of all key components, real-time thousand point diagnostics, pre-flight reject start diagnostics, obstacle detection and avoidance, glide landing, and full-vehicle ballistic parachute.
Eviation Alice is an electric aircraft developed by the Israeli company Eviation Aircraft. It is a fully electric, nine-passenger aircraft designed for regional air travel. The aircraft is powered by three electric motors and features a unique inverted wing configuration with the propellers mounted on the wingtips. This design is aimed at reducing drag and increasing efficiency.
The Eviation Alice has a range of approximately 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) on a single charge and can reach a maximum cruising speed of around 440 kilometers per hour (275 miles per hour). It is primarily intended for short-haul flights, connecting regional airports and reducing the reliance on traditional fossil fuelpowered aircraft.
The cabin of the Alice is designed to provide a comfortable and spacious experience for passengers, with large windows and ample legroom. The aircraft incorporates advanced technologies such as fly-by-wire controls and a touchscreenbased cockpit interface for the pilots.
Eviation Aircraft aims to make electric aviation more accessible and environmentally friendly with the Alice aircraft. By utilizing electric propulsion, the aircraft aims to reduce emissions and noise pollution associated with traditional aircraft, making it a potentially attractive option for regional airlines and eco-conscious travelers.

This special Ploprof takes its design cues from OMEGA’s 1970s original.
Crafted in O-MEGASTEEL, it has a sun-brushed dial in OMEGA’s own Summer Blue with a gradient finish to reflect the watch’s level of water resistance. The bezel is produced in transparent sapphire crystal, varnished blue on the back, to reveal the light blue diving scale beneath.
The iconic mono-bloc case includes the famous screwed-in crown and the characteristic security pusher at 2 o’clock, which on this edition sports a ring in blue ceramic. In keeping with the colour code, OMEGA has filled the varnished hands and indexes with a unique light blue Super-LumiNova
Turning the watch over reveals a laser-engraved commemorative Seamaster logo, framed by engraved waves and depicting a trident-bearing Poseidon and two seahorses: OMEGA’s 1956 original and the brand’s current design. Behind which sits the OMEGA CoAxial Master Chronometer calibre 8912. An original-style blue rubber strap completes the look.
