After Covid grounded its ambitions, a new breed of piloted race series looks to climb out of stall mode.
eVTOL in its EXA series this year, while continuing testing of the crewed Mk4. Racing the piloted eVTOLs—13.5-foot-long electric octocopters—will happen in the “near future,” says the company.
When it launches, Airspeeder’s EXA series will feature multi-vehicle races instead of a more traditional time-trial structure, to provide fans watching via global livestream more riveting blade-to-blade action. “The key challenge to achieving this has been building our technology entirely ourselves, rather than adapting or iterating something that already exists,” says James Warren, head of communications.
Dash believes e-air racing could appeal to a coveted younger demographic. “The Reno Air Race Association is watching it very closely,” she says. “When e-aircraft are proven as a platform, I believe RARA could be the first to demonstrate their racers. That could help build a new audience.” Sherman also foresees the upstart circuits appealing to tech-savvy spectators. “I could definitely see a younger generation, with no experience in general aviation, looking at this part of aerospace,” he says.
