ASX MOBi-ONE


Quick Summary

The Airspace MOBi One is targeted for deployment in 2025 and should match the cost of an UberX Ride at that point. The MOBi One features a variable angle of attack wing that has 6 rotors mounted on it for propulsion, in addition to a seventh rotor on the empennage of the VTOL.

Our Take on the MOBi One


AirspaceX has a solid design lined up for their MOBi One, and a follow up MOBi 2025 concept that integrates with "pods" that are picked up and dropped off by the flight system of the eVTOL. The MOBi One closely resembles the Dufour Aerospace aEro2 in appearance. No planned flight tests have been announced at this time, but the company's goal of achieving market deployment by 2025 means that their development plan must be fairly ambitious and fast-paced. Notably, ASX has recently partnered with VerdeGo to use their propulsion systems
