AIRSCOOTER®: Ultimate Hybrid electric Personal Aircraft

AIRSCOOTER is a personal VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) flying machine! Compliant with the Federal Aviation Authority PART 103 Regulations, it can be flown without a pilot license in the USA as an “ultralight aircraft”. Thanks to its patented hybrid-electric propulsion system, AirScooter offers a longer flight time than any other VTOL in the market. Patented computer assisted “fly by wire” controls ensure the highest degree of safety while requiring minimal training. Thanks to its hybrid powertrain and sustainable fuel, the AirScooter carbon footprint is comparable to a passenger car

Flyboard Air®: Pushing the limits

Flyboard Air® is a jet powered board designed to showcase the potential of “hypermobility”. Powered by 5 jet engines, it is the smallest redundant manned aircraft ever built. Its advanced stabilization and the redundancy of all critical systems ensure that the board is safe to fly in all conditions. Nevertheless, flying the Flyboard® Air is a demanding task which requires a high level of skill and fitness.

Flyboard® Air holds the world record for the longest distance traveled on a hoverboard. It received a lot of public attention during the crossing of the English Channel in 2019, as well as during the air shows which ensued (Formula 1, Moto GP etc.).
