Airspeeder made an important announcement after revealing it is joining forces with Telstra Purple for the development of the eVTOL electric aircraft racing category. A multi-million dollar technical partnership will be born between the two parties, as revealed through the official press release announcing the event.
The future of sustainable motorsport will have a lot to do with technology, and there, the Australian company will play a fundamental role by being responsible for the virtual race control system, practically in real time. This process is a necessary step for the correct operation of aerial vehicles.
Data processing and interpretation will be crucial when developing flight strategies for the Airspeeder races. This is precisely where Telstra Purple comes into play, and it will also serve to keep an eye on pilot safety once the eVTOLs are enabled to have a pilot inside.
