It is claimed that the AIR ONE has a range of 110 miles at speeds up to 155 miles per hour.
This year’s Kentucky Derby saw AIR, which manufactures eVTOL aircrafts, unveil a full-scale prototype of its flying car AIR ONE for the first time at the race, its flying car AIR ONE sounding like something out of a sci-fi movie, but it promised no experience wholly dissimilar.
The eVTOL concept is a concept that you will become familiar with very quickly, even if you do not know it yet. AIR, which stands for electric vertical takeoff and landing, is the pioneer of the blazingly futuristic concept of air taxis for commercial and personal use.
With its AIR ONE, travelers can experience the freedom of the skies in a way that is customized to suit their needs.
Because of its collapsible wings, the AIR ONE is able to take off and land on any flat surface and can reach speeds up to 155 mph, all on a single charge. In addition, it is easy and convenient to store in garages and driveways, due to its ability to fly on any flat surface.
There will be several stops on the AIR ONE prototype tour this year, including the Kentucky Derby, which will take place on May 7, 2022 in Louisville. As part of the Derby, AIR hosted celebrities as well as VIP guests in the exclusive Green Room, in which guests had the opportunity to experience a virtual flight simulation inside the aircraft.
“It is thrilling that we were able to celebrate this milestone and unveil AIR ONE at a truly iconic event like the Kentucky Derby, with the help of Churchill Downs,” Rani Plaut, CEO and cofounder of AIR, said.
“Alongside our newest partner, Aeroauto, the trailblazers we met at the Derby will play a crucial role in gaining public acceptance of personal eVTOLs, propelling the entire industry forward, transforming the way we move, and adding a dose of adventure to everyday life.”
In addition, AIR announced during the iconic and historic horse race event that it would form a new partnership with Aeroauto Aeromall for the purpose of providing aviation sales, service, and training to individual consumers across North America in order to fulfil its vision for delivering flight to individual consumers.
“It is a great honor to become the world’s first specialized Urban Air Mobility Vehicle Showroom and Dealership, bringing an international manufacturer to North America as an AIR Brand Ambassador, while becoming their North American Flagship retailer for sales, service, and customer training center,” Aeroauto CEO Sean Borman explained.
“We feel that AIR’s advanced technology will be a great asset to the industry of personal transportation as a whole. The AIR ONE is an exciting addition to the US’s personal transportation market and for all the people that have been dreaming of these incredible machines for decades.”
