CONCEPTS
The Alkonos is a radical VTOL aircraft concept that uses a distributed layout to power micro-propellers embedded in its wings. It could cover ten times the range of similar aircraft with its recuperated Brayton cycle ceramic turbine and ground effect capabilities.
The Jetsol is a jet-powered flying motorbike that would be capable of flying at over 50 kph at very low altitude with an autonomy of 20 minutes.
The Electroship is an autonomous electric aircraft concept that would fly over and collect energy from high voltage power lines.
