CycloTech has unveiled its new BlackBird flying vehicle demonstrator, which promises to redefine urban air mobility thanks to its CycloRotor propulsion technology<\/a><\/strong> . 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maneuverability and safety of the BlackBird flying vehicle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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<\/strong> \u2013 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<\/a><\/strong> . <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/strong> In addition, safety is paramount: with six CycloRotors<\/strong> , the BlackBird can maintain control even if one engine fails. This feature is essential in an increasingly congested air environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
