The world’s first flying race car has successfully completed its maiden flight ahead of planned remotely-piloted races later this year.
With technology continuing to advance at such a rapid pace it was only a matter of time until flying race cars were introduced and took the much-loved sport to the skies, and now the Alauda Airspeeder Mk3 has become the first to show how it’s done.
The electric flying car left Earth behind for its first unmanned test flights at a secret test location in the South Australian desert following approval from Australia’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority.

Measuring four metres long, the Airspeeder Mk3 is kept afloat by multiple propellers and has a thrust-to-weight ratio that exceeds even some of the world’s most advanced fighter aircraft.
