Toulouse, France 21 September 2021<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Airbus (OTC: EADSY<\/a>) has announced plans for a new CityAirbus at the Company\u2019s first #AirbusSummit on \u201cPioneering Sustainable Aerospace\u201d as the emerging Urban Air Mobility (UAM) market begins firming up. Ushering in the next generation of CityAirbus, the fully electric vehicle is equipped with fixed wings, a V-shaped tail, and eight electrically powered propellers as part of its uniquely designed distributed propulsion system. It is designed to carry up to four passengers in a zero emissions flight in multiple applications.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CityAirbus is being developed to fly with a 80 km range and to reach a cruise speed of 120 km\/h, making it perfectly suited for operations in major cities for a variety of missions.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound levels are a key factor for an urban mission; Airbus’ extensive expertise in noise-friendly designs is driving CityAirbus’ sound levels below 65 dB(A) during fly-over and below 70 dB(A) during landing. It is optimized for hover and cruise efficiency, while not requiring moving surfaces or tilting parts during transition. The CityAirbus NextGen meets the highest certification standards (EASA SC-VTOL Enhanced Category). Designed with simplicity in mind, CityAirbus NextGen will offer best-in-class economic performance in operations and support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Airbus is benefitting from years of dedicated research, innovation, two electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) demonstrators, and development on sound technology across its portfolio of products, as well as decades of experience in certifying aircraft. The Vahana and CityAirbus demonstrators have jointly conducted 242 flight and ground tests and have flown around 1,000 km in total. Furthermore, Airbus has used extensive subscale flight testing and wind tunnel campaigns and has leveraged its computing and modelling power. CityAirbus NextGen is in a detailed design phase right now and the prototype\u2019s first flight is planned for 2023.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the vehicle, Airbus is working with partners, cities, and city inhabitants in order to create the ecosystem that is essential to enabling this new operating environment to emerge in a true service to society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
