The Zapata AirScooter is a personal VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft designed for easy and safe flying.

The Zapata AirScooter meets FAA PART 103 regulations, so it can be flown in the U.S. without a pilot’s license as an ultralight aircraft.

Its unique hybrid-electric propulsion system delivers longer flight times than any other VTOL available. Advanced, computer-assisted “fly-by-wire” controls make it exceptionally safe and easy to operate with minimal training.

With its hybrid powertrain and sustainable fuel, the AirScooter’s carbon footprint is similar to that of a regular passenger car.
