UDX Research s.r.o.

UDX is pioneering the future of personal flight with its innovative Airwolf eVTOL hoverbike, aiming to make the skies accessible to all within the next two decades. See a cutting-edge electric propulsion system, that blends the excitement and freedom of flying with a strong commitment to sustainability. Electric power is the cornerstone of UDX’s vision, ensuring a quieter, emission-free experience that aligns with global environmental goals. Electric VTOLs also boast features focused on safety and minimal maintenance, crucial for widespread adoption. In essence, UDX envisions a future where personal flight isn’t a luxury or a novelty but an integral aspect of everyday life. eVTOL planes are not just reimagining transportation but reshaping it to blend seamlessly with evolving urban landscapes and contemporary lifestyles, all while upholding an eco-conscious ethos.

Airwolf is designed to bring an enjoyable, yet safe flight experience comparable to riding a motorcycle. With its tilting motors and small diameter shrouded propellers, it can take off and land anywhere, hover in place but also fly very far and fast. Small wings provide extended flight range and small motors provide an increased sense of comfort and safety for the pilot and the surroundings. Airwolf is all electric and VTOL, which makes it very practical and affordable.

UDX creates a new vehicle class altogether. With design, development, manufacturing, and testing all done in-house. We are integrating accessible open-source technologies and developing using modern manufacturing technologies such as 3D printing in combination with carbon fiber composites. This allows us to significantly reduce time to market and development costs.
