The Puffin is a 2010 concept for a hover-capable, electric-powered, prone pilot personal vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) technology-concept proprotor aircraft.The concept design was projected to be capable of flying a single person at a speed of 150 miles per hour (241 km/h), with range expected to be less than 50 miles (80 km) with 2010-vintage Lithium-iron-phosphate battery technology.
VTOL aircraft can take off and land vertically, as well as hover. eVTOLs are electrically powered VTOL aircraft. Personal air vehicles (PAVs) are under development for urban air mobility. These include projects such as the CityAirbus demonstrator, the Lilium Jet or the Volocopter , the EHang 216 and the experimental Boeing Passenger Air Vehicle .
