Airwolf takes off: The 140 mph flying motorcycle is here
With its advanced propulsion system, Airwolf leverages individually tilting ducted fan technology to achieve both hovering and cruising capabilities

Czech company UDX has introduced a groundbreaking electric vertical take-off and landing (evTOL) prototype called Airwolf. This innovative hoverbike is engineered for speed, efficiency, and agility. With its advanced propulsion system, Airwolf leverages individually tilting ducted fan technology to achieve both hovering and cruising capabilities at speeds of up to 142 miles per hour.
What sets Airwolf apart is its impressive power and maneuverability. Generating 430 horsepower, it is described as having “hummingbird-like” agility. The hoverbike features four independently moving fan units, which help reduce strain on its battery system, ultimately enhancing its overall flight range and efficiency.
Despite its cutting-edge design, UDX has identified key areas for improvement since unveiling the prototype. One significant limitation is its flight duration—Airwolf can only stay airborne for 25 minutes before requiring a recharge. This restriction poses a challenge for practical use, particularly for longer commutes or extended flight applications.
In terms of operation, piloting an Airwolf in the United States requires specific training. To legally fly the prototype, users must complete 20 hours of flight training to obtain a sport pilot license. This requirement ensures that operators are adequately trained to handle the hoverbike’s unique flight dynamics.
Beyond the training requirements, affordability is another hurdle. With a price tag of $320,000, Airwolf remains an expensive investment. Captain Electro, an expert in the field, highlighted this high cost as a potential barrier to widespread adoption, limiting access to only those who can afford such advanced personal transportation.
The technology behind evTOLs like Airwolf offers substantial benefits for urban mobility. These aircraft can significantly reduce traffic congestion by providing an alternative to traditional ground transportation. Unlike fossil fuel-powered vehicles, their electric propulsion system produces zero direct emissions, making them an environmentally friendly option.
