The aircraft was recently unveiled at the EAA AirVenture event at the Wittman Regional Airport in Wisconsin. The eplane took 3.5 years to create and looks kind of like a pod racer from the Star Wars movies.

Made from carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers and aluminum, the 1,000 pound Mk-5 measures about 28 feet wide by 20 feet long by 7 feet high. The aircraft is equipped with 32 vertical rotors on four fixed-wing planes along with one horizontal thrust at the rear to help it soar through the skies. Power comes from a 13.5 kWh battery that will allow the Mk-5 to fly up to 100 mph for 100 miles.

The cockpit accommodates just one person. You fly the single seater via a joystick and semiautomatic fly-by-wire electrical controls. The idea being that the Mk-5 will be easy enough for both novices and professionals pilots.

Tetra Aviation plans to start delivery the Mk-5 as a kit plane as in 2022, and they’re taking pre-orders for it right now.
