Axion jet-powered personal VTOL by FusionFlight is designed for a single pilot and can be reconfigured into a flying racecar, an air ambulance, or a heavy-lift drone the flying vehicle. Axion takes off with eight small jet engines instead of propellers which use fuel rather than electricity, and it gives to the flying racecar more power.

The Axion is a single-person VTOL aircraft powered by eight micro jet-engines, fueled by diesel and capable of taking-off from a variety of surfaces. The vehicle is scaled-up version of the flight proven JetQuad drone. Axion has a special ability to be quickly reconfigured from a “flying racecar” into a medevac or a heavy-lift drone.

The micro jet-engines are entirely enclosed within the body of the vehicle which greatly increases the long-term reliability of the engines. This configuration also helps suppress the noise generated by the turbines.

The Axion Thrust Vectoring System (TVS) allows the vehicle to start and take-off from a variety of surfaces and offers an incredibly smooth transition from hover mode to forward flight mode and vise-versa.

The naturally flat geometry of the vehicle decreases the drag in forward flight and increases top speed. Flat geometry also helps with integration of human and cargo payloads.
The vehicle comes equipped with two 15-Gallon, cross-linked fuel tanks. The most notable advantage of Axion over similarly sized electric-propeller driven aircraft are the top-speed (200mph) and acceleration (0.5G). So when speed and maneuverability are of top importance, nothing beats the Axion transport.
