Flywing built the X-Wing Fighter as a VTOL aircraft centered on first-person flight. A forward-facing camera streams live ...

Sikorsky is developing HEX, a fully autonomous, hybrid-electric tilt-wing VTOL demonstrator, marking its first integration of hybrid-electric propulsion and advanced autonomy. HEX is the first in a ...

Boeing company Aurora Flight Sciences has unveiled a flying-wing design with embedded lift fans as its candidate for a DARPA program to build a high-speed vertical-takeoff-and-landing (VTOL) X-plane.

The Manta vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) fixed-wing utilizes a Y3 configuration with a tilting rotor design, combining the advantages of multirotor hover capability with the efficient cruising ...

The advances of Aurora’s demonstrator ensure that the company’s fan-in-wing VTOL experiments will extend well beyond DARPA’s SPRINT. Aurora Flight Sciences, a Boeing subsidiary, is poised to redefine ...

Sikorsky and Lockheed Martin’s decision to build a hybrid tilt-wing technology demonstrator is a significant step forward for eVTOL aircraft. We are in a unique position to say this, as Dufour ...

Sikorsky on Monday detailed recent successful demonstrations with its “rotor blown wing” unmanned aircraft system (UAS), flying its prototype in both helicopter and “winged aircraft” mode through a ...

In the 1950s the Navy and Army worked on small VTOL machines to make troops go airborne. They worked, just not well enough.
