A new study found that using piloted multicopters in air rescue operations is feasible and could improve emergency medical services, especially in hard to reach places. The study, Multicopter in […]
Large investments have been made into the development of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft over the past few years, however, the less flashy topic of infrastructure is often […]
Distribution of hydrogen power to regional turboprop aircraft could become a reality by the mid 2020s, according to a disruptive new California-based green startup that is already talking to airlines […]
It’s no secret that improvements in battery characteristics will define the possible applications and time-to-market of both fixed- and VTOL electric aircraft. Trainers (Pipistrel’s Velis Ectro, Bye Aerospace’s eFlyers) and […]
Designs for eVTOL aircraft may be converging in the direction of efficient, wing-borne lift + cruise and vectored thrust concepts. Is there room for inefficient multicopter concepts in transport applications? […]
