The SFV-1000 Racing eVTOL combines lightweight construction, robust power, and intelligent safety systems to deliver a pure, exhilarating racing flight experience with exceptional security.

Its innovative four-axis eight-rotor racing layout features a dual-motor coaxial counter-rotation system on each axis, enabling a powerful output that reaches speeds of 140 km/h while establishing exceptional power redundancy. Should a single motor fail, the aircraft maintains stable flight without requiring manual center-of-gravity adjustment, completely eliminating the risks typically associated with power system malfunctions.

Weighing just 200 kg, the SFV-1000 merges lightweight construction with robust power, delivering swift, responsive acceleration in every moment. It supports a seamless transition between vertical takeoff/landing and high-speed flight, requiring no dedicated runway—taking off vertically and instantly shifting into high-speed racing mode. Its precision meets track-grade standards. The adaptive flight control system intuitively senses the pilot's input intensity and automatically adjusts parameters in real time. Working in concert with six-axis intelligent attitude control, it continuously calculates flight attitude and position, ensuring stable, predictable handling and pinpoint responsiveness even during sharp turns and sudden acceleration.

The SFV-1000 is engineered to maximize personnel safety. It features a triple safety protection framework—power redundancy, smart obstacle avoidance, and an aerospace-grade whole-aircraft parachute system—designed to minimize the risks inherent in racing flight. When a dangerous situation is detected, the aerospace-grade parachute system deploys the full-aircraft parachute within 0.2 seconds while cutting all power to the aircraft.

The SFV-1000 utilizes a four-axis eight-rotor layout paired with a full carbon fiber structure, perfectly balancing weight reduction with structural integrity. Combined with its streamlined body, it represents a seamless integration of extreme flight capability and futuristic technology.
