eVTOL and Personal Flight Vehicles for Yachts
We just returned from the NBAA jet aviation convention in Las Vegas. The eVTOL and electric segment is poised to revolutionize short range commuting. Our biggest take-away from the show is personal aviation could be quickly adapted in the yachting sector. This means you won't need a 50-meter plus boat to carry a helicopter. In fact, the aft-deck on a 25-meter boat may be adequate for Personal Flight Vehicles or PFVs. One of the more interesting concepts has roots in the marine industry and is one of the latest features at JetForums. The Cycletech CruiseUp uses a Voith Schneider Propulsion system for directional thrust resulting in some unique aerobatic capabilities.....
