The company Zeva Aero from the USA presented a prototype of an aircraft in the form of a flying saucer. The developers believe that their development will interest the military. This is reported by New Atlas.

The Zero air taxi was made in the form of a disk with a diameter of 2.4 meters. The aircraft weighing 317 kilograms is made of carbon fiber. Zero received four screws with an electric drive, which is powered by a battery with a capacity of 20 kilowatt-hours. The manufacturer emphasizes that with serial production, the cost of Zero will be about 250 thousand dollars.

The device from Zeva Aero takes off vertically and takes a horizontal position in flight. This makes it possible to use unprepared sites. The concept of the electric device was tested during flight tests of a reduced copy of Zero. The full-size prototype is being tested using safety cables.

The manufacturer claims that the flying saucer will be able to fly up to 80 kilometers with a maximum speed of 257 kilometers per hour. The head of Zeva Aero, Stephen Tibbits, suggested that Zero would be of interest to the military.

Earlier, Rolls-Royce announced that its electric aircraft had broken the speed record. During the tests, the maximum speed of the Spirit of Innovation aircraft was 623 kilometers per hour.
