Watch the First Flying Race Car Take Off

The company plans to race around the world in 2022.

Alauda Aeronautics launched the Mk3 in February. This unmanned flying race car aims to elevate motorsports to new heights. The announcement was made that an electric flying racing series would be launched this year.

Australian company fulfils this promise, launching the first flight of Alauda Mk3 Flying car Southern Australia. The video below allows you to see the maiden flight. You can also view the gallery for images of the event. The Alauda Mk3 flight is a precursor of the Airspeeder EXA series, which will see three unmanned flying car races around the world this year. However, the exact locations of these flying cars races are not known at this time. The Airspeeder EXA can be remotely controlled using a simulator that replicates the dynamics, ergonomics, and dynamics of Mk3 cockpit environments. It will serve as the testing ground for the first crewed electric flying cars races in the world. It will be a crucial technical test-bed for teams, and the ideal space to learn pilot skills.

Alauda plans to bring the Airspeeder manned flying vehicle racing series around the world by 2022. The Mk3 was designed by Alauda Aeronautics. It is believed that the Mk3’s design inspiration came from racing cars of the 1950s and 1960s. The Mk3 is an electric vertical take off and landing (eVTOL), craft that can be unloaded at 287 pounds (130 kg) and can hold up to 176 lbs (880 kg). This makes it suitable for future manned races. The Alauda Mk3 fully electric motor produces up to 429 horsepower (320kilowatts). This is comparable to the Audi SQ7. The Mk3 can reach speeds of 0-62 mph (100 km/h) in 2.8 seconds. It can also climb to 1,640 feet (500m). The thrust-to-weight ratio for the Mk3 vehicle is 3.5.
