SAMAD Electric Starling Cargo eVTOL Samad's eStarling Cargo eVTOL has been receiving considerable attention especially since it has started testing flights towards certification. The aircraft is a fully electric vertical take off and landing cargo platform that promises 100 kgs of payload flying at 120 miles per hour with an expected range of approximately 220 kilometers. Samad is suggesting the aircraft can carry up to one person as well but this is going to be mainly for small cargo movements of precious and important goods like gemstones from the mining sector, medicines, mail, oil and gas field work.
The initial testing zeroed in on hovering and flight control systems for stability etc. SAMAD CEO Seyed Mohseni said, "It was fantastic to be the first person to fly our beautiful Starling aircraft. 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 footprints. This mission started 25 years ago with a plan to build a winning team and the best in class aircraft in the world." The next test flights of the experimental aircraft are already in the works.
