Description

The unique capabilities of the VTOL Technologies VTOL Flying Wing start with an advanced flying-wing aerofoil that is able to provide high lift at low speeds, whilst providing low drag at high speed. Coupled with this are four ducted-fan rotors that are able to rotate as pairs. Each ducted-fan pair being able to rotate through 110 degrees from the horizontal through to the vertical. Such a capability enables the aircraft to both accelerate and decelerate very rapidly indeed to and from the hover. Each ducted-fan propulsion unit is individually controllable. Such a degree of control authority creates a highly manoeuvrable aerial platform that can hover into wind (dramatically reducing hover power consumption) as well as being able to take off vertically from a moving ground based vehicle or maritime platform. In addition to thrust vectoring control, the airframe also incorporates flapperons, both increasing aerofoil based lift at low forward speeds as well as providing aileron and elevator control authority for standard aircraft flight manoeuvres at speed.
