Come film a flying machine.
A single-seat electric aircraft that lifts straight up off the ground, no runway,
and needs no pilot license to fly. Built in San Francisco.

Where this comes from
Founder
Ex-Koenigsegg engineer
Body
Carbon 3D printing that supplies Ferrari
Category
FAA Part 103
The US category for aircraft you can fly without a pilot license.
What you can film, and when
Late September
The aircraft at full size, finished and painted, in the workshop where it is being
built. The founder and the engineers, on camera.
November
The first flight. It flies unmanned, remotely piloted by the team with cameras
fitted to the aircraft, so you can film the flight itself, the crew at the controls, and
the minutes either side of it. You are welcome to be there.
How this works
- No feeEither way. This is access, not a sponsorship.
- No obligation to postFilm first, decide later.
- No embargoPublish when you like.
- Nothing off-limitsFilm anything, ask anyone. Your footage is yours.
What we would appreciate
None of this is a condition, and none of it changes the invitation.
- A link to utopialabs.comIn the description or a pinned comment, so people
who want a closer look can find it.
- A word that pre-orders are openThey are, and most people watching will
assume something like this is years away from being buyable.
