Alauda Aeronautics has unveiled the Airspeeder Crewed Mk4 powered by a 1,000kW (1,340 horsepower) Thunderstrike Hydrogen Turbogenerator.
The company claims it is the ‘world’s fastest’ electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft, with a top speed of 225mph (360kph) which can be reached in 30 seconds.
The turbocharger is specifically designed for use in eVTOLs and the technology allows green hydrogen to be used as a fuel, providing safe, reliable and sustainable power over long distances and flight times.
With its electric propulsion system, advanced aerodynamics and take-off weight (MTOW) of just 950kg, the Airspeeder is extremely efficient, with a projected range of 188 miles (300km) while producing near-zero emissions.
