Airspeeder

Airspeeder Ltd is bringing manned, electric flying car racing to a global audience. The company, in conjunction with Alauda Aeronautics Pty Ltd, the manufacturer of the electric powered 'Speeders', is pioneering the next great mobility revolution. "Not since Concorde have we seen a vehicle or aircraft that pushes the boundaries of piloted agility a... nd speed like we will. Electric cars are merely an evolution of an existing format, where our speeders are a true revolution in mobility and speed" says Jack Withinshaw, CCO of Airspeeder Ltd. Taking its lead from other great names in motorsport like Daimler, Bentley and Ford, Airspeeder will use the medium of sport to accelerate technical innovation of the flying car. "The idea of flying cars has been around for years. The Jetsons cartoon in the 60s and Star Wars in the 70s gave us a glimpse of the future, yet nobody has really taken the idea forward" Jack comments. "There are numerous hurdles to overcome when developing flying cars - noise, battery life and public acceptance being just a few. But using sport allows rapid progress to be made in addressing and overcoming these". Having been established by serial entrepreneur Matt Pearson in Australia in 2016, Airspeeder has set up operations in the UK to access the commercial and technological talent pools that exist here. From the obvious links to F1 for motorsport technology, to a solid commercial sector familiar with securing institutional funding and global brand sponsorship deals, the UK will enable Airspeeder to scale up significantly. Airspeeder was officially launched in the UK by the Duke of Richmond during the 2019 Goodwood Festival of Speed. Part of the Future Labs exhibition at the event, Airspeeder demonstrated a scale model of their Speeder and introduced visitors to the concept of flying cars.Read More
