A South Australian company that is building a manned multicopter to compete in a flying electric car racing series has secured seed funding from leading technology venture capital firms. Based in Adelaide, Alauda will use the investment to ramp up design and manufacture of its vehicle, which it aims to test with a pilot aboard before the end of the year. Alauda also owns Airspeeder, the racing league that plans to host a flying car series at various global locations from as early as next year.

Otto Aviation aims to disrupt the aviation landscape with a design that flies at jet speeds, but uses a fraction of the gas, and has more range.

SkyDrive had been working on a flying car since 2014, having finally made the fantasy vehicle often seen in sci-fi movies an actual reality. 

Delta Air Lines Inc. has placed about 240 people on a “no fly list’ for failing to comply with the airline’s face-mask policy, chief executive officer Ed Bastian said in a memo to employees on Thursday.

Airbus finished the tests in June after its first autonomous take-off in December, paving the way for pilot-less passenger flights in the future.

Airbus’ new eVTOL just took to the skies for the first time in public during a demonstration flight for a German politician. CityAirbus, as the electric aircraft is called, is part of Airbus’ vision for “flying taxi” aircraft and currently being developed by the manufacturer’s helicopter division. The remotely piloted aircraft first flew independently in December, according to Aviation Today, but the July 20 demonstration flight for Bavarian Minister-President Markus Söder saw CityAirborne go airborne for the first time in front of public officials and the media, eVTOL.com reported.

As calls for climate action get louder and costs associated with airships drop, we may find ourselves being ferried across the globe by helium-filled balloons.

The Air Force is on the hunt for a Jetsons-style flying car, and service officials just got an eyeful of one of their very first prototypes. Secretary of the Air Force Barbara Barrett, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Charles Q. Brown, Jr., and Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force JoAnne S. Bass were among the officials present for the first Agility Prime electric vertical takeoff and landing flight (eVTOL) flight demonstration at Camp Mabry on Aug. 20.

The decades-old dream of zipping around in the sky as simply as driving on highways may be becoming less illusory. Japan’s SkyDrive Inc., among the myriads of “flying car” projects around the world, has carried out a successful though modest test flight with one person aboard.

Otto Aviation claims its odd-looking Celera 500L "bullet plane" is "the biggest thing to happen to the aviation and travel industries in 50 years," and that its extreme fuel economy could make private flights as affordable as regular commercial air travel.

Recline or don’t recline – it’s your call. But remember: the greed of airlines in shrinking space to reap profits makes them the true villains

Those that live in the most northern part of Norway could see fully electric planes in the skies within the next 10 years.

If you're reading this article, you probably know that flying is one of the most carbon-intensive actions an individual can take in a given year. Air travel normally accounts for approximately 2.4 percent of the world's carbon pollution. The novel coronavirus, which has temporarily flatlined flying demand worldwide, has the potential to reduce aviation emissions this year.

Airlines’ carbon emissions could drop by more than one-third this year as travel demand sinks, a trend that could continue as businesses reassess their need to fly, according to the Australia Institute.

One of the ultimate symbols of luxury and affluence is private jet travel. From the dawn of the Learjet-era to today’s ultra-long-range large-cabin jets, the most wealthy people in the world enjoy the unparalleled freedom and privilege that private jets provide. For such an intriguing and vaunted domain, there are a lot of misconceptions about it and the finances required to play within it.
