Heli T-Arrow hybrid-electric two passenger VTOL concept design multicopter aircraft
The Heli T-Arrow is a hybrid-electric two passenger VTOL concept design multicopter aircraft made for advanced air mobility. The aircraft is flown by one pilot, holds one passenger and has room for luggage. The aircraft has a canopy over the cockpit providing excellent views for the pilot and passenger. The cruise speed, cruise altitude, range and flight time are unknown. The aircraft has a maximum payload of approximately 275 kg (606 lb).
The aircraft has four propellers, four electric motors and is powered by a hybrid-electric power source. There is one small forward swept wing which helps increase the range of the aircraft. The tail is modified inverted V-tail with a small horizontal stabilizer. It is unknown what type of landing gear the aircraft has but the aircraft most likely has retractable landing gear.
Specifications:
- Aircraft type: Hybrid-electric passenger VTOL concept design multicopter aircraft
- Piloting: 1 pilot
- Capacity: 1 passenger
- Cruise speed: Unknown
- Maximum payload: 275 kg (606 lb)
- Propellers: 4 propellers
- Electric motors: 4 electric motors
- Power source: Hybrid-electric power source
- Fuselage: Carbon fiber composite
