Cutting Edge Flying Car Technologies Airspeeder is powered by a lithium polymer battery that delivers fifteen minutes of flying time.  The flying car weighs 287 pounds.  It delivers incredible speed - up to 155 mph - and has tremendous power and agility. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 2.8 seconds. For collisio

  Airspeeder Mk3 - World's First Electric Flying Race Car                                                                                     Source:  Airspeeder Mk3 Flying Car Races Coming Soon The world's first electric flying race car - the Airspeeder Mk3 - is an extraordinary piece of technology.  It combines top features of  F1 race cars, fighter jets and helicopters.  The inspiration for the EV comes from legendary Mercedes-Benzes, Rolls Royce's and Bugatti's, which developed new race car technologies and then incorporated them into commercial vehicles.  The Airspeeder Mk3 has just gone into production in Adelaide, Australia at Alauda Aeronautics.   Ten vehicles are being produced for flying car races over Australia and on other continents over the next year. Technology Comparisons When compared to the Audi SQ7, Airspeeder delivers the same amount of power - 435 PS - while being much lighter.  The vehicle can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 2.8 seconds and can reac

Tech Transferable to Consumer Flying Cars                                              Source:  Airspeeder MK4 Airspeeder MK 4 Is Ready to Race  The world's first electric flying racecar has been unveiled by Alauda Aeronautics of Australia.  It's called the Airspeeder MK4.  The flying racecar is an eVTOL or electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicle. Alauda says it is ready to race.  Airspeeder is full sized and its design was inspired by F1 racing cars.  Ten more e- flying racecars are being built to compete in the world's first races in the skies.  The racing competitions are designed to generate the development of new technologies that will transfer into future, flying passenger vehicles and highly advanced forms of aerial mobility. Tech Specs Airspeeder has top speeds of 75 mph and can accelerate from zero to 62 mph in 2.3 seconds.  It is composed of carbon fiber composite technologies to keep it lightweight and provide better speed and safety.  Alauda says the new v
