UK based, SAMAD Aerospace has successfully completed the first test flight of its fully electric Starling aircraft.

The Starling aircraft will offer door-to-door human air transportation and high value cargo transportation especially to remote locations. It can transport either one passenger or 100 Kilograms of payload at a speed of 120 miles per hour and range of 220 kilometres.

The experimental test flight went to plan and was the next step to make Starling aircraft a reality. The fully electric VTOL aircraft will change the future of transportation whilst reducing emissions and carbon footprint. This mission started 25 years ago with a plan to build a winning team and the best in class aircraft in the world.”

The SAMAD Aerospace team of world-renowned experts in their respective fields – including aerodynamics, aircraft design and propulsion systems are already planning the next test flights.

The Starling aircraft will revolutionise the way humans and goods fly around the world.
