The Combat Scout is an armed military eVTOL one passenger concept design aircraft that has a canopy over the cockpit. The canopy provides excellent views for the pilot. The aircraft has four ducted propellers, with two propellers in each duct which makes a total of eight propellers. There are eight electric motors that power the propellers. The aircraft has a H-tail and has fixed skid landing gear.
Specifications:
