The AeroMobil Company, developer of the new luxury vehicle equally at home on the road or in the sky, announced the presentation of the world’s first flying art car in Miami during Art Basel Miami at TheArsenale in Miami’s Design District.
Next to the intense test-flight program, expansion of the world-class team and ongoing R&D innovation and industrialization program, AeroMobil continues to present the vehicle internationally. After successful presentations in Europe (Monaco, Paris, London, Brussels and Vienna) and Asia (Shanghai), AeroMobil finally arrived in the US. Starting with the private unveil event during Art Basel Miami, followed by the public presentation in TheArsenale Miami from December 2nd, AeroMobil will present a special art edition of its flying car in a unique design until late December.
Patrick Hessel, CEO of AeroMobil, stated:
“Never before in history have the lines between art, automotive, and aeronautics been so aesthetically blurred. Part visual art, part performance art, the AeroMobil flying art car is the celebration of a movement that transcends time, space, and ordinary descriptors. I am proud the AeroMobil finally arrived in the US during Art Basel Miami.”
Patrice Meignan, Founder of TheArsenale said:
“All my life I have been obsessed about air mobility and art. This first art flying car is a complete masterpiece celebrating my main passions. I am extremely glad to welcome here at TheArsenale during Art Basel one of the most impressive flying car on the market and wish them good luck on the air and on the ground.”
Tail Unit
The full carbon monocoque empennage integrates the flight controls and rear suspension geometry together to deliver effective control in both air and road modes.
Lights
Effective illumination of the road and runway is an essential component of AeroMobil’s safety. Its lights are specifically designed to bring together the requirements and capabilities of automotive lighting and high intensity aerospace lighting technologies, delivering lightweight effective functionality in all conditions.
Propeller
A critical innovation is the patented design of the propeller, which elegantly folds into the vehicle fuselage when the vehicle is prepared for driving mode.
Suspension Geometry
AeroMobil’s suspension system must be adept to operate in completely different ways in flight and road modes. To deliver this, our team and partners have created a flexible solution that adapts to any condition. The system operates in three modes – road mode with the wheels placed at the optimum position to give engaging and
secure handling; during take-off and landing, with the wheels and suspension conditioned to best suit the needs of the runway; and during the flight, with wheels completely retracted, minimising drag and maximising aerodynamic efficiency.
Wheels
AeroMobil wheels have an ultra-lightweight design, and are strong enough to cope both with the journey on the road and with landing, whether on tarmac, concrete or grass.
