Boeing company Aurora Flight Sciences has unveiled a flying-wing design with embedded lift fans as its candidate for a DARPA program to build a high-speed vertical-takeoff-and-landing (VTOL) X-plane.

“The Cavorite X7 is one of the only modern VTOL aircraft designed to fly in clouds,” said Brandon Robinson, co-founder and CEO of Horizon, in a statement. “This significant differentiator will provide ...

The Manta vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) fixed-wing utilizes a Y3 configuration with a tilting rotor design, combining the advantages of multirotor hover capability with the efficient cruising ...

Back in 2018, we heard how UK startup Volerian was planning to build a VTOL aircraft with a unique flapping-wing propulsion system. Although we've yet to see a functioning model of that vehicle, the ...

It’s hard to find a totally original concept in the eVTOL world. Since 2016, some 400 concepts, proposals and designs have been introduced to the world. Most of them are variations on one of a few ...

Sikorsky and Lockheed Martin’s decision to build a hybrid tilt-wing technology demonstrator is a significant step forward for eVTOL aircraft. We are in a unique position to say this, as Dufour ...

Transcend Air has partnered with GE Aviation and Kaman Aerospace Group to develop its high-speed, tilt-wing VTOL aircraft, the Vy 400. Kaman Aerospace will manufacture the Vy 400, while GE Aviation ...

Hood Tech Mechanical has developed a flying launch and recovery system (FLARES) that uses a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) quadcopter unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to launch and recover ...

When one thinks about military drones they tend to image the largest of them, things like the RQ-4 Global Hawk or the MQ-1 Predator. These are also some of the most powerful presently flying in the ...
