CycloTech presents CruiseUp, an air vehicle that visualizes the benefits of CycloRotor technology and its capability of 360° thrust vectoring within a compact, passenger-oriented design. Based on 15 years of CycloRotor technology development, wind tunnel testing and experience from more than 500 flights of its technology demonstrator, the CruiseUp concept is designed to meet individual air mobility needs expected to emerge next decade.

In a spectacular display of technological prowess, Autoflight, a joint venture between German and Chinese talents, recently showcased the advanced capabilities of their newest Prosperity aircraft. This cutting-edge eVTOL (electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing – a type of aircraft that can take off, hover and land vertically) astonishingly covered a distance of 250 kilometres within a span of 98 minutes, solely powered by its onboard battery.

Imagine the scene: you look up from the crowded pavement of your metropolitan home and instead of seeing the occasional plane or helicopter, you see a swift, whispering sound of vehicles darting back and forth across the sky. This is not a scene from a science fiction film, but a vision of a future where air taxis and flying vehicles play an important role in public transport. But what will it take for them to become widespread ?

The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed to develop pilot training requirements that will essentially create the legal environment for the certification and operation of eVTOLs in Community airspace. The rules are expected to open up the future of flying taxis in the United States, even if the technology is still years away from being commercialized.
