VTOL

Zuri’s 2.0 vertical takeoff and landing aircraft will be competing against conventional regional jets as a faster, less-expensive alternative.

Vox’s fixed wings have four embedded rotors for vertical takeoff and a separate propeller for forward thrust, giving it a 300-knot top end.

The French-designed Ascendance AETA uses hybrid propulsion, with electric for vertical take off and landing, and diesel for forward flight.

Bell’s HSVTOL series mixes technology from its V-22 Osprey tilt rotor with its civilian eVTOL concepts to reach 460 mph at an extended range.

The Jetson One requires no pilot’s license and is easy to fly. “We just want to have fun,” says the designer about the one-person eVTOL.

The Vy 400R’s 2,500 hp GE turbine delivers a 500-mile range and 410-mph top speed, as part of Transcend Air’s plan to be king of regional commuters.

Pegasus uses fans in the wings to provide vertical lift and then transitions to forward flight.

The $440,000 “Mk2” suit, which its founder claims will make personal flight “intuitive,” has two mini-jet engines on each arm and a larger one on the backpack.

The startup plans to turn the prototype into a commercial model by 2023.
