In the near future, autonomous aircraft will revolutionize parcel delivery, with the AIR ONE cargo version leading the charge. Designed by AIR, a company known for its lightweight, minimalist eVTOLs (electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft), this innovative vehicle promises to simplify logistics tasks by transporting goods autonomously over long distances.
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.
CycloTech GmbH and Yamato Holdings Co., Ltd. (TYO: 9064) have successfully completed ajoint feasibility study on applying a new thrust vectoring propulsion technology, namedCycloRotors, to create a mid-class cargo eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) aircraftcapable of precision landing into confined areas and able to handle challenging windconditions, key features for urban airborne logistic operations. Both parties publish a whitepaper explaining the detailed outcome of this study.
