Project Zero: Half plane, half helicopter


Recommended Posts

Innovative, though not much different from the Osprey in general concept - a pair of large diameter props/rotors that can tilt from a vertical to a horizontal axis, so VTOL without most of the inherent aerodynamic limitations of helicopters in cruise. 

 

Since it's electric driven, I suspect payload and range are somewhere south of abysmal. 

 

It's good that companies do this kind of thing.  That's what advances our collective knowledge of how to best do things, of what works and what doesn't.

While the design does have a rather futuristic look to it, and the fact that it's powered by electrical engines, it's basically a Tilt Rotor design isn't it???

Looks very nice though, and I do wonder how long the battery charge last...
