Meet Horizon Aircraft’s Cavorite X7, the world’s first aircraft to use a fan-in-wing design for stable flight. It has 14 fans built into its wings that let it take off and land vertically like a helicopter. After takeoff, the fans are covered and it switches to fast forward flight using a hybrid-electric system.

More information on the Russian ring-wing FPV, including a larger version apparently intended as an interceptor. They claim that the addition of the closed wing has tripled the range of an FPV to 50 km. The drones take off vertically and then transition to horizontal flight.

Built this 3D-printed VTOL fixed-wing aircraft from scratch. The airframe is made from ABS/ASA, reinforced with carbon fiber, and powered by an F405 flight controller with GPS-assisted flight modes. Seeing a pile of parts turn into a flying aircraft is always worth the effort. 🚁➡️✈️

One of the first aircraft to use electrical flight controls with no mechanical linkages, the Balzac 001 was an experimental VTOL aircraft developed by Dassault in the early 1960s. Built as a technology demonstrator for the planned Mirage IIIV supersonic fighter, it was powered by eight Rolls-Royce RB.108 lift engines and a single Bristol Siddeley Orpheus turbojet. The aircraft achieved its first free flight in October 1962 and completed the first full transition from vertical takeoff to horizontal flight in March 1963 but was destroyed in an accident the following year.

Our hybrid-electric aircraft has reached a major milestone. Vertical takeoff, transition onto the wing, and sustained cruise. This aircraft has the potential to be more efficient than a helicopter and to cruise faster. It shares an airframe, avionics, and flight control system with our all-electric air taxi, demonstrating how different powertrains can be integrated into one VTOL platform. As we plan to welcome FAA pilots into our all-electric VTOL, this milestone underscores the rapid pace of development and the adaptability of our platform to meet evolving market demand.

Flapping-wing drones have been around for years... but the X-Fly Bionic Bird takes a different approach. Designed to mimic the motion of a real bird, it combines mechanical wing flapping with onboard stabilization for controlled flight. A six-axis gyro and G-sensors help counteract the vibrations caused by flapping, keeping it steady even in windy conditions. It has a 150-meter range, a replaceable battery for extended use, and a flexible frame designed to withstand crashes. Whether it’s a novelty or a step forward for bio-inspired flight remains to be seen!

TRANSITION FLIGHT | Midnight has completed transition flight at a speed of 100+ MPH – taking off vertically, accelerating until it transitions from thrust-borne to wing-borne flight, cruising on the wing and then landing again vertically. Here are the key highlights from this milestone: ✈️ At ~6,500 lbs, Midnight is believed to be one of the largest eVTOL aircraft to complete transition, which is critical to being able to carry commercially viable passenger payloads 2️⃣ Archer has now achieved transition with two different full-scale eVTOL aircraft which is well known in the industry as a very difficult milestone few companies have reached 💨 Midnight’s flight test program will now continue its progress with plans to fly simulated commercial routes to demonstrate the aircraft’s operational readiness, executing high-rate flight operations, testing additional flight maneuvers that will be used in commercial settings along with continuing to expand its speed and endurance flight envelope Watch the full, uncut video of the flight here: Learn more here:

‼️🇺🇸Meet the Aircraft That Transforms From Helicopter to Airplane The Bell Boeing V 22 Osprey is one of the most unusual aircraft ever built. It lifts off vertically like a large helicopter, rising straight from the ground without a runway. Then its powerful rotors rotate forward, transforming the aircraft into a fast flying plane. This unique design allows it to combine the vertical takeoff ability of a helicopter with the speed and range of an airplane. That is what makes the V 22 Osprey so valuable for long distance missions where normal helicopters would struggle. One aircraft. Two flight styles. Helicopter when it takes off. Airplane when it flies.

We’ve entered the next phase of our flight test program, showcasing piloted Midnight flight, as well as CTOL capabilities. The piloted flight featured a conventional take-off and landing (CTOL) demonstrating the robustness of Midnight’s landing gear which is capable of performing both vertical and conventional take-off and landing operations. Through our design and certification process, our team, government regulators and our customers, both civil and defense, have identified the importance of being able to conduct both vertical and conventional take-off and landing as part of normal operation of the aircraft as having CTOL capabilities in addition to VTOL provides operational flexibility and enhanced safety. Watch the full flight as Midnight cruises at speeds of up to 125 mph and reaches a maximum altitude of over 1,500 feet above ground level with Archer Chief Test Pilot, Jeff Greenwood, at the controls.

The F-2 is a fighter aircraft jointly modified and developed by Japan and the United States, integrating the advanced technologies of both nations. Based on the U.S. F-16, it has been tailored to align with Japan's operational concepts and geographical characteristics. Development began in 1988 as the FS-X, with its first flight in 1995, and the program was completed in 2000. Major modifications from the F-16 include an increased wing area to enhance maneuverability, the use of advanced materials and structures for weight reduction, and an upgraded engine for improved takeoff performance. Additionally, it features cutting-edge radar and advanced electronic systems.
