Baaz B5

Specifications:

Aircraft type

eVTOL and hybrid-electric VTOL aircraft

Piloting

Piloting at first, then autonomous piloting using predictive analytics, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML)

9 propellers (4 rotating ducted propellers nacelles, each nacelle has 2 sets of propellers, 1 propellers is in the rear of the fuselage for vertical flight)

Electric Motors

9 electric motors for propellers (there more electric motors for landing gear, folding wings and for openings for middle VTOL propeller)

Power source

Wing

One low main wing with winglets and the wing is foldable allowing the aircraft to park in tight spaces. The wing can unfold and fold while hovering so that it can take off or land in a very small space.

Tail

One vertical stabilizer

Landing gear

Retractable tricycle landing gear

Safety Features

Distributed Electric Propulsion (DEP), provides safety through redundancy for its passengers and/or cargo. DEP means having multiple propellers and motors on the aircraft so if one or more motor or propeller fails, the other working motors and propellers can safely land the aircraft.
