Important Innovations

  Airspeeder EXA Race in Australia                                                       Source:  Alauda Start of the Grand Prix Series of eVTOLs An unprecedented, electric flying car league called Airspeeder, based in London, just completed the world's 1st flying car races in South Australia.  The event is called the EXA series and it kicked off the beginning of a global Grand Prix series of racing electric flying cars.  This racing concept is important.  As is the case with automobiles, many big technology breakthroughs for consumer cars come from the tech advancements made on race cars.  These flying races are designed to greatly advance the technologies underpinning flying cars or eVTOLs (electric, vertical takeoff and landing vehicles). Alauda Speeders The eVTOL races are the brainchild of eVTOL maker Alauda Aeronautics of Adelaide, Australia.  2 Alauda-made eVTOLs, both 13.5 feet in length, participated.  Both were remotely controlled with no humans onboard.  The vehicles, wh

  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 reach an altitude of 500 miles.  Airspeeder's
