Go Fly Silverwing!
Pontis will use its composite design- and manufacturing expertiseto help the Delft student team Silverwing to win the GoFly competition. In this competition sponsored by Boeing, the challenge is to design the best vertical take-off and landing aircraft for one person.
In the first round, Silverwing ended in the top ten with their flying motorcycle which distinguished itself by the electric engine and by the use of wings. The wings allow the device to reach a speed of 120 kilometers per hour and thus belongs to one of the fastest of the competition.
The final of the GoFly competition is in October this year. The winner gets $ 1 million and in case of victory, Silverwing will of course use this prize to further develop their device.
Today our support was formalized. We are very excited to contribute to the realization of this fantastic dream machine!
