VTOL Phractyl : Microbat

今日の英語の習慣化の題材は、面白い形状をデザインした新VTOLである。

鳥の格好を真似、そのまま上昇、水平飛行は通常の航空機のよう...
着陸がまたユニークで鳥が舞い降りるみたいに垂直に着地できると言う。

本当にこんな航空機が実用化されたら面白いですね！

ちなみに、これはアフリカという滑走路が造れないような場所でも離発着できるよう設計されたと言います。

WELCOME TO PHRACTYL1
The PHRontier for Agile Complex Technology sYstem evoLution.
We are bringing sustainable mobility to Africa.

Like our mathematical namesake, the fractal, our philosophy is to employ a dynamic systems thinking approach to problem solving.

INTRODUCING… THE MACROBAT1
An African perspective on the Personal Aerial Vehicle.

Dabbling in the (aero)space of futuristic flying cars is cool, and a very convenient side-effect of the project. However, the primary focus of the aircraft is to address Africa’s most critical transportation challenges.

In particular, this refers to the mobility of people and stuff, to areas that are not easily accessible by land-based transport infrastructure.
