The SFV-1000 is the world's first four-axis eight-rotor manned aircraft engineered specifically for racing. Its revolutionary design language transforms the concept of an "aerial track" into a tangible reality.

Groundbreaking Four-Axis Eight-Rotor Redundant Layout: The SFV-1000 features a dual-motor coaxial counter-rotation system on each axis. This design not only generates the robust power required to reach speeds of up to 140 km/h, but also creates an unprecedented level of power redundancy. Should a single motor fail, the aircraft maintains stable flight, confidently managing unexpected situations. Additionally, the system automatically calibrates its center of gravity in real time, with no manual adjustment required, ensuring optimal balance regardless of changes in payload.

Adaptive Flight Control for Precise Handling: Equipped with an adaptive flight control system, the aircraft intuitively senses the pilot's input intensity and instantly switches between three parameter sets—"Comfort," "Sport," and "Track"—in milliseconds. The six-axis intelligent attitude sensor calculates flight attitude and position in real time for track-grade precision. The result is a flight experience defined not by struggle, but by synergy and flow.

Seamless Transition from Vertical Takeoff and Landing to High-Speed Flight: Requiring no runway, the SFV-1000 lifts off vertically and rapidly transitions into high-speed racing mode, maintaining stability even at speeds of 100 km/h.

Exceptional Safety: The SFV-1000 is powered by dynamic terrain sensing and automatic obstacle avoidance. Even at the limits of high-speed racing, it continuously monitors terrain changes and autonomously navigates around obstacles. When a dangerous situation is detected, the integrated whole-aircraft parachute system—drawing on aerospace-grade ejection technology—deploys a full parachute in just 0.2 seconds. Additionally, the aircraft powers down completely to maximize personnel safety.
