Flywing has developed the X-WING, a compact VTOL FPV aircraft that combines vertical takeoff with fast fixed-wing flight. It can take off vertically, hover, and switch to forward flight with a single command for smooth and stable performance. With long flight time and a foldable design, it blends the advantages of both drones and airplanes.

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.

The Helix is an EVTOL which is legally an ultralight which means no pilot rating is required to fly it. Propelled by 8 props, controlled with differential throttles and 4 elevons during forward flight with the wings providing lift.

‼️🇺🇸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.

NEXT-GEN DRONE TECH JUST GOT REAL - AND IT FLIES LIKE A TRANSFORMER A new drone called Transwing folds its wings midair - lifting off like a helicopter, soaring like a plane, and making traditional runways look prehistoric. This isn’t sci-fi. It’s a blueprint for drones that can launch from almost anywhere and cover serious ground with high efficiency. No runway? No problem. Vertical lift, winged flight, and real range. It’s not just a tech flex - it could reshape how we deliver packages, respond to disasters, and move through the world faster, safer, and smarter. Source: Innovative_tech

As we continue to progress toward the full-scale Cavorite X7, it’s a good moment to revisit how it works and why it matters. Vertical takeoff. Airplane speed. Runway optional. The Cavorite X7 lifts like a helicopter using electric fans, then transitions to forward flight powered by a turbine engine flying up to twice as fast as a helicopter and reaching up to 800 km. For time-critical missions like medevac, search and rescue, and urgent cargo, that combination of speed and flexibility is key. And when it’s time to land, it can touch down in spaces as small as a tennis court or operate from a runway like a conventional aircraft. Simple!

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.

One of the most satisfying takeoff POVs you'll ever watch... complete with an incredible landing gear retraction Watch the legendary Grumman HU-16 Albatross accelerate down the runway before its twin radial engines lift it into the air and the amphibious landing gear retracts neatly into its boat-shaped hull. Built for military search-and-rescue missions, the Albatross could operate from both land and open water, allowing it to reach survivors where most aircraft couldn't. Powered by two 1,425-hp Pratt & Whitney radial engines, it became one of the most capable amphibious rescue aircraft ever built.
