Although the official introduction of the ArcaBoard to the international market will be on April 14, 2016 at Monaco’s Top Marques event, orders can already be placed and secured on ARCA Space’s website.

The company has worked diligently to lower the cost of the ArcaBoard in its pursuit of making a product that will be available to as many people as possible. ARCA has secured strategic partnerships with US and Chinese suppliers like Southwest Composite Works Inc. and Eco Molding Co. Originally priced at $19,900, the ArcaBoard can now be sold at $14,900 thanks to these partnerships. The orders that were already placed at the initial price will be shipped as scheduled, and the price difference will be reimbursed.ARCA has also made battery packs available for the ArcaBoard, extending its flying capability by simply changing the depleted battery pack with a fully charged one in less than one minute.

It is powered by 36 electric ducted fans capable of transporting a person weighting up to 110kg (243 lbs), and has an endurance for up to 6 minutes.
