It took two years to see these flying vehicles compete in a real environment, along a one kilometer track. However, the race was not held with a pilot on board. The vehicles were controlled remotely.

The race also involved a great preparation of the team and the pilots, who made more than 200 flights in controlled environments and also in simulators. Everything you need to know this technology well.
