Lyte Aviation SkyBus

British engineers from Lyte Aviation intend to make VTOL technology truly massive. To do this, they are developing a SkyBus passenger aircraft capable of accommodating 44 passengers. The innovative car will get a speed of up to 300 km / h and a power reserve of more than 1000 kilometers. There are already several sketches with her images. Externally, the future aircraft resembles a small liner or a business jet.

Another characteristic feature of the SkyBus is the tandem wings in the front and rear parts of the fuselage. Two propellers with 6 blades are placed on each wing. The wings look small, but the engineers are confident in the operability of the design. During takeoff and landing, the wings rotate so as to provide vertical thrust. After climbing, they turn to the optimal angle for gaining cruising flight speed.

The aircraft will be equipped with several turboprop engines running on conventional or environmentally friendly aviation fuel. The total power of the engines will reach 3500-5000 hp. As soon as the technology becomes mass, Lyte Aviation plans to introduce environmentally friendly hydrogen-electric engines into its development. The company's engineers declare their readiness to present a working prototype of SkyBus as early as 2024 with the prospect of the first flight in 2025. After that, the first ten aircraft will be delivered to the customer, whose role was played by the Indian Vman Aviation Services, which signed a contract for 400 million euros.

Чего можно ожидать в зоне СВО (и вообще, вокруг Украины). IMHO.
