Maciej Kawecki from This Is IT wrote that Tesla presented a new generation of the Roadster yesterday with a SpaceX package, which — as he claimed — allows the car to perform jumps and maneuvers in the air. He described the solution as a technical effect rather than a special effect. According to Kawecki, high-pressure COPV tanks with hundreds of liters of compressed air were to be placed behind the rear seats. The onboard computer was supposed to control valves and actuators, releasing gas through nozzles around the body. The author wrote that impulses of compressed air were meant to enable short lift-offs from the ground, stabilization in flight, and faster acceleration. He emphasized that the nozzles would not be used for continuous flying, and aerodynamic elements and fans were to press the car to the road during normal driving. Kawecki praised the precision of the SpaceX teams and pointed out that three Poles were supposed to work on the Roadster. He added that Bison Fellowship scholars were to meet with them and congratulated the creators of the car. The post was accompanied by a video from Tesla. #Tesla #Roadster #SpaceX (translated)
