Points" are awarded according to the standings in each competition.
The top teams in "Championship Points" earned during the year go on to the
GRAND CHAMPIONSHIP
GRAND CHAMPIONSHIP
The World Series Championship
The same course is flown around the world and times are measured. The measured data is
then centrally compiled and used to determine the winner of each race.
Digital rounds are performed for the remote format.
The race course is set up at each pilot's base with precisely measured positions and spacing.
Using the latest measurement technology, all flight data is recorded, and this data is collected and managed at the competition headquarters. The data is collected and managed by the competition headquarters.
Qualifying ＜6 Days＞

CORE TECHNOLOGY
AIR RACE X: Race Format is a Core Technology that can bring Racing to Life.
-
Aircraft Operation Technology
We have operated in the previous Air Race World Championship and many other aviation events to ensure smooth operations with a high level of safety awareness.
Several of the world's top pilots participate as core members of safety reviews, allowing the safety of the sport to be audited by experienced pilots. All of the aviation technology and standards are fed back to us, keeping AIR RACE X above the expected global standards. -
Ultra-High Precision Flight Data Measurement Technology
Measured flights on the same race courses set up around the world.
The dedicated measuring device records ultra-high-resolution and ultra-high-precision flight data in
excess of 1/1000th of a second. -
Augmented Reality (AR)/XR Technology
High-dimensional AR rendering using ultra-high-precision flight data, a new style of
spectating using AR technology as a key technology for the DIGITAL ROUND.
The XR core technology of AIR RACE X is STYLY. We are working together in the area of technology
