Get ready for the next level of motorsport: crewed flying racing cars! Alauda Aeronautics is set to launch their Airspeeder MK4 in 2024, a hydrogen-powered aircraft designed and built in Adelaide, Australia. With a top speed of 360 km/h, it promises to be the fastest electric eVTOL aircraft with incredible acceleration.
The Airspeeder MK4 uses a gimballed thrust system with AI technology to maneuver like a Formula 1 car or fighter jet. It uses a Thunderstrike Hydrogen Turbogenerator to generate 1,000 kW of power and has a flying range of 300 km. The take-off weight is 950 kg, making it relatively lightweight.
The public debut of the Airspeeder MK4 is scheduled for March 7 at the Southstart innovation festival in the UK. Testing of the chassis and powertrain and the first crewed flights will take place in the first quarter of 2023. Alauda Aeronautics is currently accepting team entries and OEM manufacturers to collaborate with.
The arrival of the Airspeeder MK4 is an exciting development for motorsport, offering a truly revolutionary new sport to the world. Let's see who takes up the challenge!
