The timesavings driving Aska A5 flying car instead of ground vehicle
- This four-seater mostly electric flying car has a series of wings and drone-like propellers
- That gives it a top air speed of 241 km/h (150 mph) and a total range of 402 km (250 miles) per charge
- That allows you to reach your destination three times faster

At Supercar Blondie we love the Aska A5 flying car.
The four-seater mostly electric flying car has a series of wings and drone-like propellers that work together to give it a top air speed of 241 km/h (150 mph).
What’s more it has a total range of 402 km (250 miles) per chanrge.
This has legitimate benefits because of the winding nature of roads and traffic, according to YouTuber, Mrwhosetheboss.
It would take you roughly two hours in a normal car on a road, but flying on one of these would take you just 40 minutes – that’s up to three times faster.
But there is a downside to the flying cars currently heading to market in 2024.
The way that we have built our roads and transport infrastructure makes the Aska A5 flying car somewhat less viable and quite a useless proposition in practice: you can’t drive this thing on a road.
The wing span poses a particular problem when it comes to other traffic on the road.
If all you want to do is fly you can get on a regular plane and fly closer to 805 km/h (500 mph) – that’s over three times faster.
The Aska A5 also costs around $789,000 – so it certainly doesn’t come cheap.

All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
