Alef, whose founders were inspired by 'Back to the Future II,' says a car that can drive and fly is coming in about 2 years.

For decades, futurists have dreamed of flying cars, with little real-world progress. Now, one company has gotten a step closer to making that vision a reality, receiving government approval to test-fly its sports car.

The company's Armada Model Zero aircraft received the certification on June 12, the FAA told CBS MoneyWatch."This certificate allows the aircraft to be used for limited purposes, including exhibition, research and development. This is not the first aircraft of its kind for which the FAA has issued a Special Airworthiness Certificate," the agency said in a statement.
