Expanding a world-wide leadership position in FlyDrive mobility
A rise in the world's population and GDP, leads to a surge in mobility demand. Our current road infrastructure is limited, deficient, or damaged, resulting in extensive travel hours, inefficiency and loss of effectiveness. New technologies now offer a window of opportunity for disruptive air mobility products. Drastically new forms of mobility are proposed based on airborne solutions. Resulting in an enormous market: Advanced Air Mobility.
PAL-V is seen as the leader in the FlyDrive segment of Advanced Air Mobility. Currenlty finalizing the certification with EASA of the Liberty FlyDrive platform, the company is at the brink of delivery to its customers. Both professional and individual customers are filling the orderbook beyond three years of planned production.
A scalable, sustainable, and smart platform approach
The Liberty FlyDrive platform is compliant with existing regulations and its use is based on existing infrastructure. This is why we have been successfully out-pacing any company in the world in the FlyDrive segment of Advanced Air Mobility.
The FlyDrive platform as well as the skills and the knowhow of the company allow PAL-V to deliver derivatives based on various emerging new clean tech drive train solutions and specific market needs.
Together with our world-class supply chain we will scale this monopoly to any market in the world.
Advanced Air Mobility: One Market, Two segments
Within the realm of Advanced Air Mobility, two distinct segments exist. The first is the FlyDrive segment, catering to professionals and individuals seeking a seamless door-to-door air mobility experience with flying cars.
The second is the Urban Air Mobility (UAM) segment, tailored for passengers who require a platform-to-platform air service comparable to a public transportation bus service. The UAM market makes use of so-called electrical Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) vehicles, often wrongly called flying cars or air taxis. A better term would be small 'air-busses'.
The FlyDrive market segment allows professionals and individuals with a tool to travel from door to door by making use of the air. Typical journeys are between 200-1,000 km.
The Urban Air Mobility offers passengers a service to go from platform to platform similar to bus and metro services. These short flights are from the outskirts of the city to the inner city and typically are hops of 20-100km.
