An aircraft for everyone

An efficient combination of a helicopter and a small aircraft. The first versions of the aircraft will be introduced in the 2020s. Due to its low manufacturing and running costs as well as its reliability, the aircraft’s basic structure and design will remain almost unaltered for decades.

Some 85 per cent of the aircraft’s outer surface is covered with electricity-generating solar cells. The full-spectrum cells are elastic, thin film and their efficiency coefficient is up to 92 per cent. The fuselage is made of new-generation carbon fibre.

A computer adjusts the rotor blades to an optimum length to correspond, for example, with the requirements of load, take-off and landing speed, or slow flying. In horizontal flight, to minimise air resistance the blades are at their shortest and stationary.
