Innovating for the next generation of personal light air transport
Mission
X-Aero, the RMIT GoFly Team, comprises the RMIT School of Engineering, the RMIT Activator initiative and dedicated RMIT students and staff. We are creating an evolving concept vertical take off
and landing (VTOL) vehicle that has been submitted as a Phase III entry to the
Boeing-sponsored GoFly competition.
An ultra-light air vehicle is in development, for an individual’s transport purposes, to be interchangeably manned or unmanned. In October 2018 the first prototype was successfully flight tested. We plan to reveal our improved Phase III design in 2020.
Watch this space as the next generation of innovative minds harness the most recent advances in aerospace materials, safe propulsion and ultra-compact macro drone design. Project development is further supported by GoFly holdings having an 8% equity stake in X-Aero.
