What is McFly.aero?
McFly Token will enable device owners (aerial vehicles, chargers, landing pads) to get rewarded for granting a temporary right of use to authorized passengers. Blockchain.aero Technology stack will make every device a potential service to be traded by entrepreneurs in the McFly Community on the open market, in real time.

While automakers are striving to invest into eVTOL developers and taxi companies are buying up roofs to make landing pads and monopolize customer relations, McFly.aero reduces uncertainty, risk and entry barriers for all those who would like to participate in the emerging urban passenger air taxi market. It was initiated by the Technology Consortium committed to make products of its participants comprise a turnkey urban air taxi marketplace and management system. McFly.aero operates as a Technology and Business Incubator. It offers benefits of global expert and entrepreneurial community, as well as portfolio investment strategy. It incubates businesses that will sell and operate passenger transportation, as well as related products, technologies and services along the end-to-end value chain from R&D for aerial vehicles to landing pads, mobile apps and additional services that can be sold by the grid. Consortium members see McFly.aero as a market channel for products and services. Entrepreneurs see McFly.aero as support ecosystem and a marketplace that rewards contributions into its development and later would allow them to sell devices-as-services for a fee from the grid and passengers. Experts see McFly.aero as gateway to the new emerging industry and market. Passengers see McFly.aero as an opportunity to get more affordable flight sooner than possible and in more cities. McFly token is a reward mechanism for human and machine services within the common shared system — business and technology incubator (now) and air taxi marketplace and management system (later). McFly token is a success metric reflecting developments of the concept, participants, the incubator and the industry as a whole. McFly token is technically a measurement of and a right to 1 minute served by committing aerial vehicle. Thus, it is a unit of measurement for device use, record of rights to use, a ticket to ride, an ignition key, and a unit of billing.

Problem: Last year urban air taxi infrastructure was tested in Dubai, while automakers invested hundreds of million dollars into the passenger electric VTOL manufacturers. Emergence of air taxi infrastructures in the world’s largest cities is a matter of months. However, a whole new market of mass urban air taxi worth over 1 Trillion USD has only a handful of places for entrepreneurs to acquire support, investors to get guidance, experts to sync-up, or regulators to receive feedback. Specifically, technology developers need to develop standards and products that will be mass-deployable as a tightly-knit bundle, interchangeably, to comprise the grid that serves flight-per-order in a multitude of local environments and regulatory requirements.
Solution: McFly.aero is a technology and business incubator. It offers the benefits of a global expert and entrepreneurial community, as well as portfolio investment strategy. It aims to incubate businesses that will sell and operate passenger transportation, as well as related products, technologies and services along the end-to-end value chain that spans from R&D for aerial vehicles to landing pads, mobile apps and additional services, which can be sold by the grid.
Token Implementation: The McFly token is a reward for human and machine services within commonly shared marketplaces — the business and technology incubator (now) and the air taxi marketplace and management system (later). The McFly token is a unit of value, which reflects the development of the concept, participants, the Incubator and the industry as a whole. The McFly token is also, technically, a measurement of, and a right to, 1 minute served by a grid-connected aerial vehicle developed by Consortium participants. Thus, it has intrinsic value as a unit of measurement for device use, record of rights to use, a ticket to ride, an ignition key, and a unit of billing for any service available on the incubators’ marketplace from humans or machines.

You go out on the street and you have got some McFly tokens. Tokens are “flight itself”. You use them to order an aerial vehicle (electric vertical take-off and landing, autonomous or semi-piloted) to the nearest landing area or directly to your house roof and you use your mobile device.
At times you will wish to vote to get priority service (for example, in case of a temporary lack of available vehicles in your area). Then you do it in two ways:

  • With the number of tokens in your wallet (without spending them, this affects the "class of service")

  • By consenting to a higher tariff determined by demand and supply ratio at the moment. (And the decentralized system allows you to see real-time changes in the current demand and supply of network capacity in your area and your fair trading will form the final flight price)

  • The aerial vehicle then arrives to take you to the desired destination and some tokens are transferred from the client’s wallet into the "current" (operational) wallet of the vehicle. From this wallet the vehicle autonomously settles all associated costs of the urban flight and its ecosystem and infrastructure:

  • Battery recharge costs

  • Landing site (vertiport) rent

  • Purchase of media content the passenger opted to enjoy

  • Scheduled maintenance

  • Air traffic control

  • Insurance costs, etc
    The vehicle may even track cabin damage and other excessive use of its resources and issues additional bill to the passenger on the smart contract basis.

Project Team & Advisor:
McFly.aero Incubator includes Corporate partners (who want to see where the industry goes), Consortium members (who want to make their products integrate into a unified air taxi infrastructure), Entrepreneurial community, organised in City-focused Chapters (who want to use that technology to earn, i.e. sell that technology as a service, as well as develop other business models).

Token Details:
1.8 Bn McFly tokens are issued during the Token Launch Phase 1 at roughly 0.2 ETH per 1000 McFlys according to a Pre-Flight tokenisation program. 30% of which is for team, advisors, bounty and reserves. 70% is for Token Launch backers. This amount of McFly tokens is largely based on the commitment of Bartini (one of Consortium participants) to contribute the total available flight resource from 3000 vehicles into the system. Tokens may be issued on various platforms to raise awareness among communities and test blockchain protocols, one or several of which will ultimately serve as the core technology. All McFly tokens are 1:1 fungible.

1 McFly Token is equal to 1 minute of flight, and is a unit of reward within the ecosystem of vehicles, infrastructure and service providers. This emerging industry requires an incubator to propel research, adoption and growth while reducing risk via a classic portfolio strategy. We unite companies to bundle technologies and we incubate entrepreneurs to use them and sooner provide affordable flights in more cities.

Verdict:
McFly goal is to incubate technologies and businesses, incentivized by McFly token as a core value, aiming to offer the air taxi management system and its users: entrepreneurs and passengers. The more leverage in terms of attention, contribution, participation, the project attains, the more cities will be included, the more participants in the consortium, the more depth, and inclusion in each line of work. Various tokens adopted among the groups of innovators and startups other than that of the urban aerial vehicles community may be exchanged for McFly tokens in order to involve this larger number of people into the development of the McFly.aero Incubator and Technology Consortium.
