'The next generation sport plays the same role the pioneers of Formula One did nearly a century ago in driving technical development and building public acceptance for a new mobility revolution. While the race and flying vehicle is exciting, the firm says the goal is to accelerate the development of a 'mobility revolution'. In creating a racing series that will accelerate a mobility revolution we will need to draw upon these skills,' said Matt Pearson, Airspeeder founder. 'Britain is a globally recognised centre of excellence in motorsports and aerospace. The firm has been developing the new craft for the past three years in the Australian outback, pictured is the second version - the new version is faster and more stable, with a fourth version due next year that can carry a pilot for the first timeĪirspeeder says 2021 will see growth in its existing presence in the UK through the creation of a full-time engineering base, a strategic decision made on the basis of Britain's standing as a technical and engineering powerhouse in motor-racing.
Commercial operations are already run from London. The firm are looking to expand their presence in the UK and outside of Australia - to create a more 'global sport'. The electronic vertical take off and landing industry has been predicted to be worth more than $1.5 trillion by 2050 by analysts Morgan Stanley. These innovations will include developments in including refinements to noise and batteries that will be fed into the wider development of a new industry. 'Both the remotely piloted Mk3 programme and manned Airspeeder Mk4 flying cars will provide a safe environment from where key innovations around safety.' 'Racing will play a vital role in hastening the arrival of eVTOL technologies which promise to revolutionise urban passenger mobility, logistics and even remote medical transport,' the firm explained. The craft is being developed and manufactured by a team drawn from leading names in aerospace, automotive and motorsport technology including Mclaren, Babcock Aviation, Boeing, Jaguar Land Rover, Rolls-Royce and Brabham
