SYS.04Prototype-Y
One vehicle. Every subsystem, proven together.
Prototype-Y is the integrated validation vehicle: the electrostatic motor, the land-air hybrid drivetrain and the soft-landing configuration working in a single body. The "Y" refers to the twin-Y silhouette of the emblem. It is not a production vehicle — it operates on a controlled test site, and its success is the precondition of the series-production decision.

M1 · DEC 2026
Procurement & sub-assembly
Long-lead orders (dielectric plates, HV AC drive, composite track, crank/gear set). Casing, guide rails and support plate machining. HV safety cage and test-site setup.
-
M2 · JAN 2027
Motor block assembly
Capacitor groups assembled with isolation tests; thruster, valves and air channel fitted; vacuum-head seal verified. Gate: motor block passes static high-voltage test.
-
M3 · FEB 2027
Chassis, drivetrain & integration
Chassis frame built; crankshaft, transmission, track and wheels mounted; A/B selector valve line connected. Gate: first powered movement in ground mode.
-
M4 · MAR 2027
Commissioning & acceptance
Tethered thrust measurements on load cells, mode-switch cycles, 50-hour endurance run, acoustic and vibration characterization. Gate: acceptance report and series-production decision.
Acceptance criteria — the M4 gate
- Measurable, repeatable net vertical thrust in flight mode
- A↔B mode switch completed within 60 seconds, hands-off
- ≥100 m straight-line ground drive under its own power
- 50 hours cumulative operation with no structural or dielectric failure
- All measurements reported with an independent observer present
