Airspeeder, the revolutionary flying car racing series, has secured the world’s first experimental flight certification for a racing eVTOL aircraft, marking a global precedent in regulated aerial motorsport. CASA’s approval of the Alauda Aeronautics Airspeeder Mk4 takes the racecraft from concept and testing to a fully constructed and flight-ready vehicle. Engineered with expertise drawn from Ferrari, McLaren, Airbus and Boeing, the Mk4 is the first of its kind in Australia and the world. More than certification alone, this milestone demonstrates that flying car racing is no longer science-fiction but a tangible reality, fusing aerospace innovation with the excitement of sport to define the future of advanced mobility.

This marks another bold leap forward for Australian aerospace. Following landmark approvals such as Gilmour’s orbital launch, CASA is cementing Australia’s position as the proving ground for frontier technologies, stretching from rockets to flying cars.

Certification validates years of engineering, testing, and racing, and marks the creation of a new category: Physical AI Racing. Airspeeder is breaking new ground in high-performance flying vehicles under experimental aviation guidelines, elevating safety, performance, and AI-integrated mobility to new heights with their operations now in full-swing.
