New technology for urban airborne logistics


Cyclotech, an Austrian company for aviation propulsion systems based on the Voith-Schneider principle, and Yamato Holdings, a holding company of Yamato Group which contains the Japanese parcel delivery provider Yamato Transport, have completed a joint feasibility study on applying "Cyclorotors", a new thrust vectoring propulsion technology, to create a mid-class cargo eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) aircraft capable of precision landing in confined areas.

 

This vehicle with a 2.7 x 2.5 m footprint would be capable of carrying 45 kg of payload over a range of 40 km and handling challenging wind conditions up to 36.5 kts crosswind.

 

Yamato now will accelerate its efforts to implement high value-adding airborne logistics operations within the technical premises expanded by this study. (ah)
