Personal flight is currently undergoing a renaissance thanks to the rapid advancement of so many requisite industrial technologies. The next phase of personal flight is poised to begin and the production version of this aircraft could well mark the occ… Continue reading $190,000 eVTOL deliveries begin July – no license required
Ever since its launch, we thought Vermont’s Beta Technologies might prove itself the real deal in an electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) world dominated by renderings, concepts, prototypes and other “maybe somedays.”Continue ReadingCategory: … Continue reading Video: Beta Alia nails first manned eVTOL transition to cruise flight
How did we miss this one? This Spanish eVTOL has been flying in prototype form for a number of years now, using a unique 4×4-prop FlyFree tilting mechanism designed to keep the cabin level – and a new five-seat design takes things up a level.Continue R… Continue reading Video: Odd Spanish eVTOL demonstrates fractal propulsion system
Chinese company AeroHT previewed some of the weirdest, and most potentially disruptive vehicles of 2023 at its parent company Xpeng’s tech day last October. We had to stifle a giggle when we saw the Land Aircraft Carrier (LAC), an all-terrain van-like … Continue reading 6×6 eVTOL-launcher adventure van edges closer to a new travel reality
