I have a patent on a uniquely designed EVTOL Aircraft. The main advantage of my ‘Xflier’ is that it has pivoting airfoil shaped wings that will provide lift once they are tilted forward for horizontal flight. This will greatly increase its range. Other EVTOLs designs are based off of a ‘drone’ style which takes more energy to keep flying. On mine the fuselage remains horizontal at all times except for a gentle tilt forward when embarking and disembarking. Think ferris wheel ride. The aircraft is powered and controlled by four ducted fan nacelles located at each wing tip. These nacelles house two counter-rotating motors each, delivering more power and safety compared to traditional exposed prop-mounted motors. 

The X configured wings have no tail, rudder or any other control surfaces. This keeps it all much simpler which equals many cost and maintenance benefits. Pitch, roll and yaw are all controlled thru the four engine pods varied speed. The horizontal flight characteristics and efficiency have been proven out with drones already. Will scale nicely. 

•Nerfed for safety (no dangerous input)

•Battery tray moves fore and aft for balance

•Luggage stows on top of the battery tray
•Ballistic safety chute will be standard
•Senses obstacles around at all times
•Can fly & land autonomously
•Can deliver itself empty

•If there is a failure with a nacelle the others change characteristics to compensate and the craft can land safely


     Project performance goals:
* 150+MPH
* 3 hour charge time
* 300+ mile range on single charge
* $200K base price once in production 

Cheers!
