Will Airspeeder create the first ever flying car racing series?
Weve been promised flying cars for the longest time, says Matt Pearson, founder of the flying car concept Airspeeder and the EXA Series, dubbed the worlds first flying electric car racing series. Even Henry Ford said the plane and the car will merge into one thing. Weve all had this expectation for a long time and now its happening.  News of Pearsons visionary project is starting to pick up. Earlier this month, the Airspeeder Mk3, which weighs 130kg but can stay airborne for around 15 minutes, completed a flight in Pearsons native Australia. And then Airspeeder announced a partnership with Swiss luxury watchmaking giant IWC, opening the story up to a wider audience. IWC is the projects engineering and timekeeping partner. As Pearson says, weve been expecting flying cars for generations  in the case of this particular observer, since 1985s Back To The Future hit cinemas. But, by Pearsons estimations, real-world attempts to make them havent come to much.
