Vehicle Types, Main Use Cases and Infrastructure
-
Vectored thrust
Lift and cruise
Wingless
Benefits
- Optimised for both hover and cruise
- Lift provided by wings for cruise for highest efficiency
- Highest cruising speeds
Benefits
- Redundancy benefits of multicopter without collective or cyclic actuation
- Wing configuration allows for more energy and speed in cruise
Benefits
- High redundancy and simple controls
- Significantly quieter than helicopters
- Lower maintenance and lightweight
Implications
- Greater mechanical complexity
- Increased airframe weight
Implications
- Suboptimal for both hover or cruise
Implications
- Slowest cruising speed/least efficient
-
For example passenger transport
For example emergency / medical flights
For example goods delivery
- Commercial transport of people (e.g. flights between city centre and airport, or within a metropolitan area, or flights for sightseeing)
- Planned passenger numbers range from one to six
- Most manufacturers plan to start operations with vehicles with a pilot on board
- Both passenger transport and goods delivery aircraft can be used or modified for emergency missions
- Passenger carrying vehicles can be used, e.g. for transport of medical emergency personnel to an accident site or transport of patients to a hospital
- Unmanned drones can be used for emergency use cases such as evaluation of emergency areas, direct firefighting, delivery of medical and emergency supplies
- Transport of goods for commercial or industrial application (e.g. last-mile delivery, delivery to a hub, rural delivery of supplies) excluding emergency and medical goods
- Delivery could take place into a garden, station nearby, roof, etc.
- Stated payload of concepts ranges from 0.7 to 200 kg
- Some concepts will initially be remote controlled, while others are already planned to operate autonomously from the beginning
