Have you ever seen a flying car? Not only do they exist, but they have also been inspired by Formula 1 for a new format of these highly technological cars. Modernity has arrived, and futuristic cars are being designed based on the specific operation of F1 cars, but with one big difference: the cars will be electric and powered by a different sustainable energy source. These cars will be unlike anything seen before! Learn all about the car of the future and the Startup behind this invention.
F1 technology applied to flying cars
Remember when the movie Back to the Future showed us flying cars and everyone thought it was impossible that they exist? What if I told you that not only is it real, it’s already happening? A new tech Startup, AMSL Aero, has been investing in flying cars inspired by F1 cars and is shocking the world with this cutting-edge invention. Its name is Vertiia.
The information may seem strange at first, after all, how can a flying car resemble a fast racing car like those in F1? But it is possible! Startup AMSL Aero designed its flying car model in partnership with Conflux Technology, which is the official engine cooling supplier for F1 cars. The fact that AMSL chose Conflux for the partnership was not in vain.
The company is one of the largest in the engine cooling industry, with an enviable history of innovation in Motorsport. AMSL plans to join its partner to innovate even further, and to be a pioneer in the construction of an aircraft — which resembles a car — that is electric, and at the same time powered by hydrogen as a source of energy, through fuel cells. That is why the participation of a company like Conflux is so important in this project.
From the racetrack to the sky: How Vertiia works
AMSL Aero is here to revolutionize the automotive industry. With its electric car powered by a hydrogen fuel cell, the company will go down in history as a pioneer in long-range, zero-emission flights, and the car promises to reach the speed of an F1 car — around 300 km/h. What they are doing is innovative in many ways, but mainly in how it works.
Vertiia’s flight is powered by electric propulsion, and this process causes the car’s fuel cell — fueled by hydrogen — to reach high temperatures. That’s where Conflux Technology comes in with a cooling solution for the engine, which carries high transient heat loads during the car’s operation — takeoff, landing, and flight. This cooling is done through a heat exchanger system.
“Hydrogen fuel cells are shaping the future of sustainable aviation, and thermal management is critical to their performance. By integrating our advanced heat exchange technology with Vertiia’s fuel cells, we’re optimizing efficiency and driving the next generation of clean aviation solutions” — Michael Fuller, CEO and founder of Conflux Technology.
Will the future of racing be in the skies?
Now that we will have cars that are as fast as Formula 1 cars, but even more economical and sustainable, will racing in the future only take place in the sky? We still don’t have the answer to these questions.
Even though Vertiia is still in the testing phase, it already represents a major breakthrough in the automotive industry. It is not just about luxury or innovation; it is a proposal that combines technological innovation and sustainability — something essential for the advancement and reinvention of the industry itself. With Formula 1 technology and the clean power of hydrogen, the future of flying cars has a promising path ahead, and we’re excited to see what comes next.
