The story behind Opener’s BlackFly [Pivotal Helix] strange-looking design

Рет қаралды 35,985

Жыл бұрын

On October 5, 2011, the world witnessed what is considered the first fixed-wing evtol flight ever.
After this first successful flight, Marcus Leng, a retired Mechanical Engineer, realized the huge potential of this technology and decided to pursue his childhood dream and develop a personal aerial vehicle.
Eleven years later and after more than sixty thousand test miles flown in forty different increasingly improved aircraft, the BlackFly is ready for mass adoption. The development of this aircraft was not an easy task. There are three events that influenced the particular design of this strange-looking yet practical, personal aircraft, set to disrupt the transportation industry.
This story all began in a small town in Canada.

When cruising, the pilot appears to be leaning forward, falling. And when taking off, it looks like it's upside down.

This design definitely seems like the basis for a new type of vehicle. If it was slightly larger with a tiltrotor mechanism and landing gear, it could actually become practical as transportation. I get that it's small so you don't need a pilots license but I bet there will be more specialized licenses in the future for aircraft of this type.

I love this craft. And I want it to be able to land on water, have the right buoyancy so you could, if needed open the glas and not gain water....and be able to continue in water....the propellers, would need to become the ships screws etc... And start thinking lol...of a millitary functional version. Since this one...is a great design. And I mean...a grand and promising design. Yet! The propeller need to be able to be rotate able independently from the angles of the flaps/wings, so two four of them or some of them could function as direct propulsion, and some as keeping it heights and or lows. Than I think it be even better.

It is powered with electric motors and batteries. It would take some reengineering to make it waterproof, but it could be done. It would not be a very efficient water taxi but it expand its usefulness if it could takeoff from water.
