Hi guysπ just as previous blog posts I am back with yet another jaw dropping π² innovative tech that has been introduced to the automobile industry. Let's get started
A company named Airspeeder which was founded by Matthew Pearson has unveiled a great vehicle to the world. It is the world's first electric flying race car. It's also Vertical Take-Off and Vertical Landing (VTOL).
The name of this amazing flying race car is Airspeeder MK3. This beast is capable of achieving 120 kmph (75 mph) and can turn much faster than a regular helicopter or winged aircraft because of the double rotors that is present in the four corners. The octocoper is capable of achieving a force of 5 G (G means acceleration of gravity that will be experienced by the person on board of an aircraft) in fast bends. The power of this vehicle is 429 BHP(Brake Horsepower of an aircraft engine) which is a lot of power for its weight which is 130 kg.

There is going to be a remote controlled race series with unmanned MK3 race cars which is going to be organised in the second half of this yearπ₯³. The company has also planned manned racing series for the next year π. The sister company of Airspeeder named Alauda Aeronautics is building 10 examples of MK3 for the remote controlled race series. The MK3 is claimed to be capable of doing 0-100 kmph(62 mph) around 2.8 seconds which is really quick for the first generation of this much capable flying race car. In the race series the MK3 will also take pitstops for swapping battery π that would take only around 14 seconds because of the quick release mechanism of MK3. For the development and manufacturing of these flying race cars the manufacturer has enlisted the help of a few big names in the automotive and aerospace industry including McLaren, Jaguar Land Rover, Rolls-Royce, Brabham, Boeing, and Babcock Aviation.
The founder of Airspeeder Matthew Pearson is confident that this technology will will transform clean-air passenger transport, logistics and even advanced air mobility for medical applications.
That's the end of the post folks π thank you for reading π I would like to know your thoughts about this flying race car in the comments section feel free to comment.
