ArcaSpace, through its ArcaFashion brand, is introducing the ArcaBoard 2 (internal designation as Project Q).
The ArcaBoard 2 is the latest evolution of the revolutionary ArcaBoard, which was released by ArcaSpace 10 years ago.
While personal flying vehicles are slowly becoming a reality, the original ArcaBoard, released in 2015, essentially kick-started the market for personal electric VTOL vehicles.
The new model has been designed to greatly increase the original's endurance, speed and range.
The ArcaBoard 2 is produced in the EU, at ArcaSpace’s facilities.
Airframe
The ArcaBoard 2 is made from the same composite materials that ArcaSpace uses for manufacturing rockets and spacecraft. This creates a structure that is very lightweight, yet stiff and resilient. The ArcaBoard 2's structure alone weighs just 30 kg.
The vehicle comprises three main sections: the fuselage; the right and left main propulsion nacelles; and the underbelly cruise nacelles.
The fuselage houses the prone pilot.
Propulsion
The ArcaBoard 2 is a machine lifted by six electric motors with ducted propellers, offering a maximum total thrust of 180 kgf for hovering.
Two additional motors are housed in the underbelly nacelles with the function of providing the cruise thrust.
Flight control
The ArcaBoard 2 provides complete freedom of movement in all directions.
Like a motorcycle, it is controlled by shifting the rider's centre of gravity to adjust the pitch and roll.
Additionally, the pilot can choose to engage or disengage the flight stabilisation system to make the flight experience smoother or more thrilling.
The most natural flying position
The ArcaBoard 2 is designed for riding in a prone position.
We opted for this position rather than a seated position because it offers the most intimate flying experience.
When we dream of flying, we don't dream of flying sitting in a chair. We dream of flying with our chests facing the ground and looking down freely, in a similar way as the birds fly with their chests facing the ground.
Specifications
The ArcaBoard 2 measures 2.9 metres in length, 3 metres in width and 0.5 metres in height.
It has an empty weight of 60 kg and a maximum pilot weight of 90 kg.
The vehicle's maximum speed is 40 km/h at a maximum height of 3 m, with a range of 9 km and an endurance of 20 minutes.
Safety first
Our product is not designed for extreme adventures and risk-takers, but for those who want to experience the most intimate form of flight while prioritising safety. Therefore the maximum altitude limit of three metres has been set.
In a similar way with the standard of the most advanced European racing cars, a halo and a 10 cm-thick composite and foam structure placed on the belly and on the sides, offers an advanced protection for the pilot.
Furthermore, the ducted propellers offer significant advantages in terms of both efficiency and safety.
