Sustainable: thanks to its hybrid powertrain and sustainable fuel, the AirScooter carbon footprint is comparable to a passenger car. AirScooter features six rotors extending from its body, forming a pinwheel style. This design is intended to facilitate easy vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL). Each rotor is equipped with twin sharp blades, and they are not enclosed so caution must be observed.

The empty weight of the aircraft is 112 kg, has a maximum payload of 120 kg and has a maximum takeoff weight of over 232 kg. The fuel tank holds 18.9 L. The aircraft has fixed tricycle strut landing gear.
The cabin is encased in glass on three sides, which offers excellent visibility for the operator and, at cruising speed, breathtaking panoramic views. Thanks to the hybrid propulsion there’s also an 18.9-liter/4.9-gallon gas tank on board, the AirScooter comes with an estimated flight time of 2 hours.
