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.

As of early 2026, the "flying car" market is transitioning from prototypes to initial commercial availability, and the price tags are aimed squarely at the ultra-wealthy. Companies like XPeng AeroHT have announced that their modular "Land Aircraft Carrier" (a flying car/van combo) is targeted at a price of under $280,000 (approx. £220,000) for initial mass production. More "personal jet" style vehicles like the Jetson ONE (a single-seat eVTOL) are priced around $98,000, though these are classified more as ultralight recreational vehicles rather than road-legal cars. On the high end, the ASKA A5—a true road-legal flying car that can drive on highways—is expected to retail for closer to $789,000. Beyond the purchase price, 2026 owners must factor in the "hidden costs": specialized insurance, pilot certification (which is becoming more automated but still required), and landing fees at vertiports. While the "Ford Model T" of the skies is still a decade away, the current entry point for a functional, safe flying vehicle is roughly the price of a high-end McLaren or Lamborghini.
