InnerworldChina claims breakthrough with world’s first ducted eVTOL that can lift nearly half a ton
Does the definition of VTOL not include the ability to transition to forward thrust? Looks cool but I’d just call it a multicopter
It stands for Vertical Take Off and Landing
Yes I do know that, but I am not aware of any aircraft that is “a VTOL” but only does vertical take off and landing
If it only did up and down then it wouldn’t be very practical or useful in most applications. There must be some sort of propulsion
Tilting like helicopters and multicopters, you don’t need a dedicated directional thrust, just vectoring
