The sport promises to be the greatest modern sporting spectacle on the planet, with elite pilots propelled to speeds of 200kph in the largest, most powerful octocopters on the planet. The business model operates a little like Formula E: Nothing drives innovation faster than competition. Airspeeder will turbocharge eVTOL technology and safety innovation, enabling the next aviation revolution. We race for the industry.

The Airspeeder looks like a cross between a giant drone and a go-kart with space for a pilot on board, it has a 500kW battery pack that lasts for just 15 minutes before needing recharging or replacing.
