Designed by French design studio Klissarov Design,this electric marvel is all about 360-degree thrust vectoring, thanks to its cycloidal rotor technology. Acro will be equipped with dual joysticks and two screens for enhanced visibility. It will have several different flight modes, including AI-assisted “Acro” mode.

This new breed of aircraft will not only provide the ultimate flight enjoyment and safety above the water but also the ability to land on yachts in almost any sea/weather condition.

The very low noise pollution, electrical propulsion system and compact form factor will not require the need for a traditional helipad. Inside the cabin, the molded seat ensures the pilot is plenty comfy while flying. There is also a structural harness to keep the flier nice and secure in the skies.

Vehicle mass breakdown: The maximum take-off weight equals the overall hover thrust at around 62% of the maximum overall thrust that each cyclorotor can provide. Vehicle Mass, Pilot – 80kg, Airframe – 40kg, Avionics – 5kg, Energy Storage – 58kg, Propulsion System- 97kg.
