Umiles Group was founded in San Sebastián, Spain in 2016 and became a leading company in unmanned aerial systems. The company offers custom services for national and international customers. In 2019, the company's first flight of an electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) passenger prototype aircraft took place in an indoor stadium. In 2020, Umiles Next was formed. The company's goal is to be a world leader in advanced, efficient and sustainable mobility for both eVTOL passenger aircraft for advanced aerial mobility (AAM) and ground transportation to improve people's lives. The company's goals are to provide an aircraft that is made with passenger comfort and the use of sustainable materials.
Umiles Next unveiled the Concept Integrity two passenger piloted eVTOL aircraft at the World ATM Congress in Madrid, Spain on June 21, 2022. The aircraft has a canopy over the cockpit for excellent views for the pilot and passenger. In the future, the company expects the aircraft to be autonomous. Concept Integrity is the first eVTOL air taxi using 100% Spanish technology, development and manufacturing, says the company.
Concept Integrity has a cruise speed of 80 km/h (50 mph), a range of 15 km (9 miles) and a flight time of 15 minutes. The empty weight of the aircraft is 550 kg (1,212 lb), its maximum payload weight is 100 kg (220 lb) and its maximum takeoff weight 650 kg (1,433 lb).
The aircraft has a canard-like boom configuration that make a total of four booms. Two booms are located at the forward bottom of the fuselage and the rear two booms are located at the top of the fuselage. At the end of each boom is a tilting propeller assembly where four booms are attached at 90 degree angles to each other and at each end of each boom is a propeller. Electric motors are located directly under each propeller. The aircraft has a total of 16 propellers and 16 electric motors.
Each propeller assembly can tilt independently of each other and each propeller can work independently of all other propellers providing the aircraft with excellent stability and controlability in calm to gusty winds. The aircraft has fixed skid landing gear and can land on almost any surface in real time.
The company expects Concept Integrity to be used for on-demand air taxi service, personal use, tourism, police, fire, disaster relief, emergency use for doctors, search and rescue, government use and air cargo service. The company's plans are to have the serial production started for Concept Integrity by 2027.
