Specifications:

Aircraft type

eVTOL passenger concept design ultralight aircraft

Piloting

1 pilot with dual joystick control, no foot pedals, helmetless operation, dual side-screens human-machine interface cockpit design, with full 3D aerobatic manoeuvrability

Cruise speed (maximum speed allowed for an ultralight aircraft)

102 km/h (63 mph)

Maximum hypothetical speed

120 km/h (75 mph) Note: The aircraft will not fly this fast due an electronic governor that will keep the maximum speed at 102 km/h (63 mph) to comply with the maximum allowed speed for an ultralight aircraft.

Safety features

Distributed Electric Propulsion (DEP), provides safety through redundancy for its passengers and/or cargo. DEP means having multiple propellers (or ducted fans) and motors on the aircraft so if one or more propellers (ducted fans) or motors fail, the other working propellers (or ducted fans) and motors can safely land the aircraft. The aircraft have up to two simultaneous engine losses and the vehicle is still able to hover and land safely. There are also redundancies of critical components in the sub-systems of the aircraft. The aircraft has a structural harness for the pilot. The aircraft has an whole aircraft emergency ballistic parachute.
