Arthropoda
Arthropoda represents our own vision of what VTOL vehicles should embody with ADF (Adaptive Ducted Fan) integration. This concept includes 7 comfort seats and is hybrid-powered, driving 4 ADFs. Each ADF delivers a significant amount of extra thrust, ensuring high efficiency and maximum range.

The ADF pro series model uses the performance of surfaces of the duct body in formation of a BellMouth shape. This design process ensures a BellMouth deployed phase using its 1/3 of body shape and expand 25% the duct intake section providing optimal ergometry of the surfaces that form the BellMouth

Road Map
Beginning
Driven by a passion for VTOL missions and a commitment to staying abreast of aviation evolution, the team embarked on developing the next generation of Ducted Fan propulsion systems in 2019. After extensive studies on air physics applied to duct surfaces and leveraging Bernoulli’s law, the team uncovered the vast potential of an Adaptive Duct inlet. This discovery led to the construction of our first ADF prototype

“The ADF is a 3-in-1 HSVTOL (High-Speed Vertical Take-Off and Landing) thruster. You deploy it upwards and take off vertically with tremendous thrust. The adjustable air intake slats ensure a smooth transition to cruise mode. Then, you retract it and fly forward quickly and efficiently, thanks to the sharp-tip aerodynamic design.”
