Starting more than a century ago, racing helped drive the development of early aircraft to the point where they became mainstream mass transportation. Today companies building eVTOLs are taking a similar route.
Alauda Aeronautics and Airspeeder say two of their eVTOL racing vehicles competed in the first race for electric “flying cars,” kicking off their Airspeeder EXA Series of competitions featuring remotely piloted eVTOLs.
