Moller has developed,
built, and flown a two passenger prototype model of
a volantor. This volantor is a new type of aircraft
that combines the performance of airplane and the
VTOL capability of helicopters in a single vehicle
withoutthe limitations of either.
Did it Fly? Sure looks
like it!!! (test results avail on company website
linked below)
Using a principle
similar to that of the British Harrier jump jet,
the Moller volantor incorporates a patented thrust
deflection vane system that redirects thrust,
enabling it to hover or to takeoff and land
vertically from almost any surface. This capability
plus the added safety of ducted fans makes it ideal
for a wide variety of commercial and military
applications. These include private and charter air
travel, express delivery, news gathering, border
patrol, police and fire work, and search and
rescue, to name just a few.
STATUS: Currently
prototypes have been tested. No Estimated time for
delivery of first units. Electric Version available
