Technical approach

As reported

Rotor Design

18 fixed-pitch rotors for redundancy

18 electric rotors provide failsafe redundancy. If rotors fail, aircraft maintains lift to land safely.

Urban Focus

Optimized for city operations

Short hops (~20 km) in cities. City infrastructure and noise rules define design.

Regulatory Path

Full EASA type certification

Pursuing European certification, not experimental. Longer path but enables commercial ops.
