In an event that would befit an opening scene of a science fiction movie, China recently celebrated the successful launch of its first ever flying saucer-shaped craft. However, fans of extraterrestrial phenomenon need not to get too excited – this is no alien technology. As reported by Shenzhen Pages, a local news outlet, the saucer is a brainchild of Shenzhen UFO Flying Saucer Technology, an eVTOL (Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing) solution provider.

Unmanned helicopters are no longer a concept in some futuristic Sci-Fi novel. They’re here, revolutionizing the way we conduct dangerous missions, especially those demanding autonomous, discreet, and seafaring operations. Remember the cinematic marvel of witnessing Skyryse, the world’s first fully autonomous helicopter, command the sky in 2019? That glorious image of an unmanned chopper making an extended flight and taking passengers onboard a modified Robinson R-44 marked the dawn of a new age in aviation technology.

Swiss firm Destinus has been diligently working on the development of a hypersonic hydrogen aircraft for several years, aiming to transform the intercontinental travel experience by dramatically cutting flight durations. With this technology, passengers can look forward to drastically reduced flight times, such as 4 hours and 15 minutes from Sydney to Frankfurt (down from 20 hours), 3 hours and 30 minutes between South America and Dubai (compared to 14 and a half hours), and just over 3 hours from Tokyo to Memphis (rather than almost 13 hours).

In the small town of Verpelet, Hungary, a group of nine determined engineers embarked on an ambitious project back in 2007: to create an accessible and efficient ultra-light helicopter. After fourteen years of innovation, determination, and countless hours of labor, the HC-02 helicopter finally came to fruition in 2021. This revolutionary aircraft, designed and manufactured entirely in Hungary, is a testament to the country’s growing expertise in aviation technology.
