After 15 years of developing and testing prototypes, CycloTech has unveiled its first concept aircraft.





Propulsion systems in each "corner" and two more running along the bow and stern of the cabin

CruiseUp is a unique personal two-seater eVTOL vehicle designed for short city flights.

The main difference between the new product and its analogues is the use of the CycloRotor propulsion system. Instead of traditional propellers, it uses rotating drums to create thrust.



In the style of Jackson Pollock)))

These rotating drums work in such a way that the thrust can be directed almost instantly in any direction through 360 degrees. This makes it possible to quickly react to gusts of wind and provides high maneuverability.





Designing for a likely future in which everyone is allowed to perform vertical takeoff and landing from their own driveways

Here's the first test lift of the 80kg CycloTech prototype a month ago.
