In this episode, let’s learn more about personal rotorcraft VTOLs. If you’re curious about some of the best and latest developments in this field, watch until the end to see our number one pick!
Personal rotorcraft vehicles include conventional, single-main rotor or SMR helicopters and advanced vertical takeoff and landing or VTOL aircraft. Recent and projected developments for hybrid or all-electric aviation propulsion systems can enable greater personal mobility, while also reducing environmental impact in the form of noise and emissions. However, the technology for all-electric energy storage capability is still significantly less than our current, hydrocarbon-fueled systems. With over 30 years of developments in electric and hybrid propulsion systems, the future of personal rotorcraft VTOLs remains highly encouraging.
