XPENG’s AEROHT flying car has already taken to the skies in Dubai, and now, the RYSE RECON eVTOL can say the same, just with a more flashy backdrop. An Elvis impersonator was behind the joystick controls of this electric flying machine capable of hitting a top speed of 63 mph and reaching a maximum altitude of 400 feet, thanks to six battery-powered propellers.
All of its electric motors and batteries run independently, which means a single or even multiple failures will not result in disaster. Practical uses include farming tasks, on ranches, and harvesting vineyards. Since the FAA classifies the RECON as an ultralight aircraft, you won’t need a pilot’s license to operate this machine. One caveat: it costs at least $150,000 USD, with delivery of the first 100-units beginning later this year.

As the world’s largest innovation stage, CES provides an unparalleled opportunity to showcase the RECON’s cutting-edge technology. Demonstrating the world’s first aerial utility vehicle (AUV) that anyone can fly at the most influential tech event in the world is an exciting opportunity for us. We have built this vehicle with the consumer in mind and we think everyone will identify with the RECON immediately,” said Mick Kowitz, CEO of RYSE Aero Technologies.
