Airspace Experience Technologies has unveiled a sub-scale model of its autonomous, electric VTOL aircraft, MOBi-ONE, at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
MOBi-ONE is designed to autonomously take off like a helicopter, fly like a plane, and transport passengers or cargo between urban centers, suburbs, and airports within 60 miles. MOBi-ONE will fly at a top speed of 250 mph leveraging existing Electric Vehicle (EV) architecture and autonomous technologies.
Recent advances in electric propulsion, automation, and lightweight materials now make the development of this new class of aircraft possible.
