The M200 is a design for a VTOL personal air vehicle, a class of vehicle described by Moller as a "volantor". The M200G Neuera is a circular craft with seats in the middle for two passengers and a control panel. The vehicle is 3 feet (0.91 meters) tall and 10 feet (3.0 meters) in diameter. Eight Wankel rotary engines power eight enclosed fans.
Paul Sandner Moller (born December 11, 1936, in Fruitvale, British Columbia, Canada) is a Canadian engineer who has spent over fifty years developing the Moller Skycar personal vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) vehicle. The engine technology developed for the Skycar has also been adapted as a UAV platform called the "aerobot". [1]
The Avro Canada VZ-9 Avrocar is a VTOL aircraft developed by Avro Canada as part of a secret U.S. military project carried out in the early years of the Cold War. [1] [2] The Avrocar intended to exploit the Coandă effect to provide lift and thrust from a single "turborotor" blowing exhaust out of the rim of the disk-shaped aircraft.
The Bensen B-12, variously dubbed the Sky-Way or Sky-Mat was an unconventional multirotor developed by Igor Bensen in the United States in the late 1950s. Extremely unorthodox, the design sprang from Bensen's thinking about the engine redundancy necessary to ensure the safe operation of small, personal rotorcraft operating at low altitudes and slow speeds.
Prototypes have been built and on 13th November 2023, ARC Aerosystems announced the start of test flights of the Pegasus VTOL at its facilities in Cranfield (to gain CAA certification). Chris Taylor has been designated the ARC test pilot. [5] In 2024, ARC announced that they had an order for five Pegasus VTOL aircraft, to be delivered in 2026 ...
