In this update, we dive into the life of the Alauda Aeronautics engineering and design team during the month of October. The mission: get two Alauda Mk3 Speeders flying simultaneously.

The first task of the month included the commissioning of the most recent iteration of the Alauda Mk3 - the Mk3 ‘C’ in preparation for the first dual speeder flight test in South Australia. Extensive ground tests and setting up our 5G communications network and race control - with the help of Telstra Purple and AWS - were imperative next steps.

After successful dual Speeder operations were completed in mid-October the test drag race for the EXA Series was the next challenge. Indeed, the biggest test for our engineers and pilots so far in the Airspeeder journey!

00:00 - 01:04 Commissioning new Alauda Mk3C
01:04 - 03:04 First-ever dual Speeder operations
03:04 - 04:35 Proximity Testing and Drag Race Practice
04:35 - 07:35 Integrating 5G Ground Stations for Collision Avoidance

Airspeeder is the world’s first racing series for electric flying cars.

Our mission will accelerate eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) advanced aviation technology through intense sporting competition. This mobility revolution, underpinned by future tech will transform urban air mobility (UAM), global logistics and even medical applications with a clean-air electric vehicle (EV) solution.

Our racing multicopters are developed at our advanced aerospace engineering hub in Adelaide, South Australia by engineers drawn from elite motorsports, automotive, aviation and even FPV drone, electric plane, electric vehicles and passenger drone backgrounds.

Airspeeder’s vision will deliver the most exciting and future focused motorsport on the planet. Following an inaugural unmanned season, elite pilots will take to the skies to race prop-to-prop while navigating electronically governed racetracks in the skies above some of the most visually arresting scenery in the world. These manned multirotor electric vehicles will define a new era in advanced air mobility (AAM).

Airspeeder’s first unmanned air race is scheduled for 2021 and will feature a full grid of multirotor unmanned Airspeeder Mk3 racing craft. The best pilots from drone racing will utilise latest RPAS (remotely piloted aircraft systems) in aerial battles across the globe.

Our innovations will hasten the arrival of new advanced air mobility (AAM) technologies. Close but safe air racing is assured through latest LiDAR and radar technologies that create virtual forcefields around the sport’s cutting edge quadcopter format flying cars. Rapid hair-pin turning manoeuvrability is delivered using a multicopter layout. This pioneering approach to aircraft design also enhances stability while electronic speed control (ESC) systems empower pilots to exploit the full potential of our advanced electric powertrains.
