The world's first flying racing car, which can reach 100 km / h in just 2.8 seconds, is under construction. This is the Airspeeder Mk3, which is expected to conduct its first remote-controlled test this summer, with the aim of launching manned tests next year.

The construction is done by the company Alauda Aeronautics in Adelaide. The name Airspeeder comes from the company that made it, while there are already eight flying cars on the production line.

The Airspeeder is fully electric and can be operated remotely. In the coming months he will go down to races on three continents. The Octocopter has eight blades, surrounded by a carbon-fiber central cockpit, capable of reaching a top speed of 120 km / h and using LiDAR, RADAR and mechanical vision.

According to a response from the company cited by DailyMail, information on production costs is confidential with the teams that ordered it. The developers claim that the racing applications will help the development of flying cars and will lead to more mass production.

The announcement comes three months after the Airspeeder prototype went out of control at Goodwood Airport in West Sussex. The remote-controlled flying vehicle climbed about 8,000 feet on a flight path before crashing. However, the company's founder Matthew Pearson claims that some of the first Mercedes, Bentley and Renault vehicles were racing. As he says, companies knew that in order to promote their cars, they would first have to launch them at races, a philosophy followed by Airspeeder.
