LIFT’s “pay-per-flight experience” is now available to the public. The company’s inaugural mobile location will be operating through until April 28th at Lakeland Linder Airport, home of the Sun ‘N’ Fun Aerospace Expo, where LIFT will also be seen flying in airshows and allowing customers to fly during its well-known event (April 9th-14th). Customer flights are to continue in Austin, Texas during May, with further expansion into additional cities to be announced in the near future.
The release explains, “Anyone can train and fly LIFT’s aircraft, HEXA. The experience, which lasts approximately 2 hours and includes comprehensive ground training, allowing customers to familiarise themselves with the aircraft and its controls before flying the aircraft in a virtual reality flight simulator, offering a realistic preview of what’s next. Once trained, participants pilot HEXA themselves, all under the guidance of experienced flight instructors and all with no pilot’s license required.”
