Skif Dobney
Aircraft Design Engineer
Skif recently graduated from the MSc Aerospace Vehicle Design from Cranfield University, and with first class honours in his bachelor for Mechanical Engineering from Polytechnical University of Catalonia. He has a year work experience in Spain in the Automotive sector as support Quality Engineer. During which he gained important skills such as CAD modelling, FEA stress analysis, fluid dynamics and design. Together with his developed technical skills, Skif is fluent in four languages (English, Spanish, Catalan & German) making him adaptable to any situation.
FARID RASSOULI
Aircraft Design Engineer
Farid graduated from Sharif University with a degree in double majors, aerospace engineering and material science and engineering. He won first place in the 2019 AIAA graduate design competition related to eVTOL air taxi design as a leader of the team. He also participates in two more design AIAA design competitions as a team member and advisor in 2018 and 2021 and won 3rd and 2nd places.
He started working on the eVTOL project in 2017. Being enthusiastic about exploring innovative ideas and having problem-solving skills, he continues working as part of the design team.

Timeline
2018
S1D & S2D
- S1D. The first flying prototype of the e-Starling was developed to prove the ARC Aerosystems concept. It has been named the S1 and is a 10% scaled fully-electric and remotely piloted aircraft. It was first showcased in EBACE 2018, in Geneva.
- S2D. Fully electric and remotely piloted aircraft, 20% scale of the e-starling, also a concept demonstrator. It was showcased in EBACE 2018 in Geneva.
2019
S1P & S2P
S1P. To enhance understanding of control mechanisms and the performance of larger fan propellers, the S1P was designed. It has been named the S1 and is a 10% scaled fully electric and remotely piloted aircraft. It was tested successfully in 2019. The S1P uses contrarotating propellers to generate lift- S2P. ARC Aerosystems progressed to a larger prototype with a wingspan of 20% the size of the e-Starling, namely the S2P. This aircraft was also fully electrically powered and remotely piloted and used to demonstrate a more scalable prototype. High RPM electric ducted fans (EDF) were used to create lift.
2020
S5U
- S5U. 50%-scale prototypes of the e-Starling, CTOL versions. The first milestone of this phase was the delivery of an unmanned version (S5U). It has a wing- span of approximately 8 meters. The S5U prototype underwent flight tests in Sept 2020.
2021
S5M
- A huge year for ARC Aerosystems! 2021 saw numerous successful unmanned VTOL hover tests (fully electric), shortly followed by the ground-breaking manned VTOL hover test (fully electric).
2022
ARC C
ARC C-150
2022. Significant time saving is the most noteworthy benefit of the ARC C150 aircraft. A fixed
wing VTOL UAV will eliminate dependency on runways/launch and recovery facility. It
is fast, less sensitive to adverse weather than multi-rotor drones and the range is long
enough to cover most remote locations of the country.
Using BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line Of Sight) technology, ARC C150 can be piloted
remotely and eventually will be autonomous.
ARC C-600
