Embention releases upgraded Veronte KAI FCC for One-Way drones at MSPO
Discover Veronte KAI 2.2 with AI-based PNT, terminal guidance and scalable production for one-way drones in contested environments.
LuftCar develops modular, multi-purpose road and air mobility vehicles designed for regional transport connecting urban and rural areas within a 300-mile radius. Embention, a leading supplier of autopilots and critical components for eVTOL, develops high-performance systems in accordance with aircraft certification standards. The two companies have joined forces and agree to cooperate to bring a fully autonomous eVTOL air mobility vehicle to the market.
In the cooperation agreement, both companies commit to realize a plausible roadmap for the full autonomy of the LuftCar eVTOL aircraft, including entry into service and in-service support (made possible by Veronte Autopilot) and outline a plausible flight test programme to support the above.
Veronte Autopilot, which is compatible with all types of autonomous vehicles and provides the reliability required for air vehicle certification, will be linked to the LutfCar, which being hydrogen-powered would give customers the freedom to FLY over long distances, with a maximum speed of 220 mph and at an altitude of 4,000 feet.
The companies’ joint action is expected to bring about a significant change in the transport of people in air and ground mobility, thanks to the synergies that can be generated between Embention’s highly reliable products and expertise and LuftCar’s innovative and futuristic vision and concept. With this cooperation, the climate change problem could be tackled by providing two-in-one autonomous air and road mobility vehicles powered by hydrogen and batteries to help drivers navigate quickly through cities and between cities with zero emissions.
