Urban Air Mobility revolutionized

FlyNow is an Austrian startup active in the field of urban air mobility, which wants to revolutionize urban transport by offering a VTOL aircraft for a single passenger, autonomous, and with low operating costs.
The aircraft, temporarily called PAV, as mentioned, is designed for the transport of one person including baggage.

The pulsing system is based on a rotor with a double counter-rotating propeller, which is highly efficient with its redundant coaxial electric drive. The noise produced is higher than other multielic drones currently under development, about 55 dB (A) at 150 m altitude. However, this noise is still within the limits to be able to operate in an urban environment.

The choice of the propulsion system, and the particular design of the cell are very efficient from an energy point of view. This is due to precise design choices that prompted the engineers to maximize payload.

Flight control is fully automatic, being an aircraft designed to accommodate a single passenger. Each phase of the flight, from take-off to landing, will be automated and coordinated with the local ATM (Air Traffic Management) official. In the event of a breakdown, however, he can take over the controls of the aircraft.

Flynow is determined to focus on its aircraft for a single passenger to enter the aero taxi market but is also planning a two-seater aircraft for the future.

Like many other competitors in the sector, Flynow definitely focuses on the three pillars of the new urban mobility.

• Reduction of emissions, possibly to zero.
• Accessibility to the service with a tariff system that will be equal to that of a normal taxi service.
• Passenger safety with multi redundant systems.

 

FlyNow is sure of the high profitability of its project as it believes it is strictly designed for urban use.
