A few guys from Jobi Robotics came up with a really interesting RC plane called the Quadshot. With 4 motors, the plane is very similar to the quadcopter builds we’ve seen, but an added wing a… ...

The VTOL X-Plane aims to perform flight tests in 2018. The program sought a design that could hit a top sustained flight speed of 300-400 knots; achieve aircraft hover efficiency of at least 75 ...

All the considerations are discussed by [Bearospace] in an excellent in-depth video, which is an indispensable resource for anyone planning to build a solar plane.

The Snelflight VTOL Jump Jet RC Aircraft is set to retail for £79.90, which is approximately $160. This price point makes it an affordable option for both hobbyists and those looking to get into ...

Borrowing a neat trick from the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey, Spin Master has created a new RC plane that’s able to take off and land vertically at the push of a button.The Air Hogs Fury Jump Jet’s ...

In the early 60s, there were several studies into creating the first mass-produced vtol aircraft. A plane that could operate like a jet, and then at the same time, land vertically where needed.

VTOL X-Plane seeks to develop a technology demonstrator that could: * Achieve a top sustained flight speed of 300 kt-400 kt * Raise aircraft hover efficiency from 60 percent to at least 75 percent * ...

DARPA has completed flight-testing of a sub-scale version of a novel aircraft design as part of its vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) X-Plane program, and is proceeding with work to develop a ...

The X-Plane can rotate its wings and stabilizers downward and use that to lift off from the ground like a helicopter. Once it’s got enough height, the built-in jet can kick in and the wings ...

The U.S. military started using the RC-26 Condor in 1989. Originally introduced as a counter-drug surveillance aircraft, the RC-26 Condor held a civilian classification as the C-26B.

Latitude Engineering’s Hybrid Quadrotor UAV combines the maneuverability and versatility of a quadcopter with the endurance and efficiency of a fixed-wing aircraft. It also features both ...
