## About

Founded in 2015 by Jim Dukhovny (CEO), and based in California, US, Alef Aeronautics Inc., formerly known as Armada Aeronautics, designs and manufactures flight-capable passenger electric vehicles. In October 2022, Alef Aeronautics Inc. raised USD 3 million in seed funding from new investor Draper Associates.

The firm employs proprietary propulsion technology that allows vehicles to lift off vertically, allowing for sustainable air transportation of passenger vehicles. The firm builds both hardware and software, to enable autopilot of air-borne vehicles and help reduce traffic congestion by enabling air-borne consumer vehicles.

The company intends to use the October 2022 funding towards product development.
