FIRST RACES YET? IN 2021

Airspeeder's final goal Alauda Aeronautics (the aircraft manufacturer), both founded by entrepreneur Matthew Pearson, & egrave; to arrive soon at the debut of the series. In fact, there is talk of three races already; in the course of 2021 in localit & agrave; which will soon be announced. According to Airspeeder, at the races of the & quot; EXA Series & quot; with remotely controlled aircraft that will take place already; by the end of 2021, up to four teams will participate. Each team will have; of two & quot; pilots & quot ;. In 2022, however, the series with aircraft with pilots on board should ideally debut.

Returning to the EXA Series, the eVTOL models that will participate weigh 130 kg, accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds and can reach a maximum altitude of 500 meters. The autonomy with a battery pack varies between 10 and 15 minutes of flight. The accumulator can be removed and replaced in less than 20 seconds. This particular aircraft & egrave; equipped with technologies such as LiDAR and radar which are used to avoid collisions during flights.

The success of the test bodes well that this series can really debut soon. It will be interesting to follow the evolution of the Airspeeder project given the dynamism that there is; lately in the eVTOL sector . More and more companies are investing in this field to create short-range electric aircraft to be used as a new form of mobility; especially within the large metropolitan areas where mobility is traditional & egrave; a problem due to congested traffic.

The series, if it really succeeds; to debut, it could become an “advertising medium” important for this new category of aircraft. All that remains is to wait for further news.
