FAQ

The AIR ONE can be charged at home using an installed adapter. Users will also be able to charge their AIR ONE at public EV fast DC charging stations with a standard CCS plug. Charging from an EV AC charging station is possible using a portable adapter that fits inside the AIR ONE’s luggage compartment. We have partnered with EV charging and infrastructure companies in order to provide AIR ONE users a large network of charging options.

In forward flight with one vertical takeoff and one vertical landing, the AIR ONE can remain airborne for up to one hour at optimal cruise speed.

AIR ONE’s batteries are designed to comply with the same safety standards that batteries currently installed in airliners comply with. These standards ensure prevention of fire propagation. The entire battery compartment is sealed off and enclosed with durable fire-proof casing. Additionally, multiple sensors constantly monitor the health status of each battery cell and provide very early alert prior to any possible hazard.

Should there be a need, the AIR ONE battery can be replaced by a certified AIR technician.

The AIR ONE is designed with four battery packs.

The AIR ONE was designed from inception to be an extremely redundant platform which envelopes its occupants in layers of safety nets. The design consists of 8 independent brushless motors and four separate battery packs. In the unlikely event of a fault, the other motors will automatically stabilize the aircraft keeping it stable and in controlled flight. Furthermore, a ballistic parachute is installed into all models as an added layer of safety. AIR is conducting extensive flight testing in accordance with established FAA safety standards in order to acquire type certification.

The AIR ONE will require a basic pilot license. While regulation is not final on this matter, we expect something similar to a sports/private pilot license which requires about 20-40 hours of training.

The AIR ONE will need to abide by current flight regulations, imposed by local regulators. The AIR ONE's system will ensure that the flight plan is synchronized with the battery range.

The training is expected to be between 20-40 hours of flight training.

Training will comprise both theoretical knowledge and practical flight training. Subjects covered will be similar to those covered in a sports pilot course such as regulations, aviation weather, navigation, etc.

This will be dependent on local regulations. Normally, there should not be a problem flying in uncontrolled airspace such as open country land.

The AIR ONE is being certified with the FAA under a version of Part 23 standards, adapted for eVTOL.

Initially, the AIR ONE is being certified with the FAA. Shortly after, we will conduct the process with EASA and other regulators.

The intitial AIR ONE is designed with 'Fly-By-Intent' technology which provides a high level of simplicity for the operator. Simply point the AIR ONE in the direction you want to go, and the system will make the necessary flight adjustments needed to take you there.

Fly-By-Intent is an advanced high-tech system which computes the flight control and makes the necessary inputs based on pilot intent, safety, and aircraft capability, eliminating the opportunity for loss of control.

The AIR ONE is constantly scanning its surrounding using radar, lidar, and other imaging sensing equipment in order to alert the operator to unseen and potentially hazardous obsticles in its flight path and vicinity.

The AIR ONE is constantly performing system checks and scans based on required flight profile needed for each stage of flight.

Assuming you have enough space to safely land and it is in compliance with local and federal regulations, then it can be done.

Yes, the AIR ONE is designed to fit into a trailer for extended transport. We will provide an option to purchase a custom trailer for the AIR ONE.

Folding the wings is extremely simple due to AIR’s patented flooding mechanism. One person can complete the folding process in less than 5 minutes.
