“What you see today will fly next year” according to SKYLYS Aircraft CEO Gary Chorostecki in a video unveiling recent progress made on the electric VTOL AO Aqua speeder.

The video, AO. Chapter 2, A disruptive Technology, also gives hints to the propulsion system. The video contains an interview with Guillaume Tremblay, the company’s Co-Engineer and Project Manager, who discloses that multiple motors are embedded within the wings.  SKYLYS is currently keeping additional engine specifics under wraps.
