CycloTech has unveiled its new BlackBird flying vehicle demonstrator, which promises to redefine urban air mobility thanks to its CycloRotor propulsion technology . This unmanned or manned vehicle incorporates a thrust system capable of controlling direction and force over a full 360-degree angle, allowing for precise vertical takeoff and landing.
Maneuverability and safety of the BlackBird flying vehicle
Featuring six seventh-generation CycloRotors, the BlackBird excels with its superior maneuverability. This system offers the ability to parallel park in mid-air, brake sharply in tight spaces, and fly sideways without needing to bank – a breakthrough in aerial safety and versatility. According to Hans-Georg Kinsky, CEO of CycloTech, the company is the only one in the world developing CycloRotors as a primary commercial propulsion system .
The prototype, with a maximum take-off weight of 340 kg and a speed of up to 120 km/h, is under development and its first flight is planned for 2025. In addition, safety is paramount: with six CycloRotors , the BlackBird can maintain control even if one engine fails. This feature is essential in an increasingly congested air environment.
As if that were not enough, the BlackBird’s compact design allows it to be integrated into urban environments without the need for special infrastructure. Over 800 successful flights, CycloTech has proven the effectiveness of its technology, preparing to revolutionize the flying car market with a sustainable and electric approach.
Technical highlights:
- Six latest generation CycloRotors.
- Vertical takeoff and landing with high precision.
- Ability to hover and tilt angle up to 30 degrees in hover mode.
- Compact dimensions: 4.9 m long, 2.3 m wide and 2.0 m high.
CycloTech hopes this innovation will drive the adoption of safe and efficient flying vehicles, transforming the cities of the future.
