The wild-looking CycloTech CruiseUp has weirdly-oriented fans that allow to fly forward, backward, up, and down all without jostling occupants
Cyclotech is throwing its hat into the ring in the hopes of becoming one of the big players in the world of electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles, and it thinks the design of its propellers will set it apart from the competition. Rather than using a traditional propeller with several blades that extend out from a central point, the Cyclotech CruiseUp uses its own CycloRotors.
With six CycloRotors, it says it has also built redundancy into the vehicle, in case a rotor fails. Powered by electricity, the CycloRotors will be able to carry the CruiseUp up to 62 miles on a single charge, at speeds of up to 93 mph . This, the manufacturer says, is more than enough for trips within most major cities and their suburbs. Cyclotech believes that eVTOLs will start flying in the world's skies in the coming years as air taxis and shuttles.
