You’ve seen the XPENG AEROHT X2, so the UDX Airwolf shouldn’t be too farfetched, or at least for an electric flying hoverbike. Put simply, this aircraft is capable of vertical taking-off, transitioning to forward flight, and then vertically landing, all powered by an electric powertrain.
Why is it using electric ducted fans instead of conventional large diameter free propellers? Well, it provides the same thrust with a much smaller diameter compared to the conventional propellers, thus allowing for easier storage and quick transportation at speeds of up to 143 mph, thanks to four electric motors. On a full charge, you can expect up to 41-miles of range or around 25-minutes of flight time. Pre-orders are expected to begin soon, with pricing starting at approximately $383,000 USD and production expected to begin in 2028.

The tiltable EDFs are controlling all aspects of flight stability and steering. The main construction material of the wings is carbon composite – a very lightweight and sturdy material. Thanks to the carbon composite, the wings are easily able to bear both aerodynamic load and especially the load from the EDFs located on the ends of the wings,” said the company.
