You can fly this bird yourself! Get it at http://tinyurl.com/Verticopter get X-Plane (the demo of X-Plane allows for 10-minute flights at a time), and get flyin'!

See more recent videos on my channel!

Designed in Blender and X-Plane, with extensive RC prototype test videos coming soon! This is one VTOL concept you'll want to keep an eye on!

  • low alt engine failure? what about high altitude engine failure?

  • @hks85 Just glide. Like any normal plane. Version 1.5 also includes ballistic parachute system, for aircraft and occupant recovery.

  • have you thought of making a luxury version, making a longer fuselage for a capability of transporting VIPs.

  • @trechan

    Yes, you can see the 7-seater in the newer videos (search for Verticopter 1.5 on YouTube)

  • You really need to work on your landings. You are coming in way to hard. It should not slam down like that, it should touch down GENTLY like a helicopter.

  • Yes, this was in the early days of Verticopter test-flights. I also tried to demonstrate extreme slow-down capabilities along with pinpoint landings of this plane. To truly master such landings, you need way more experience flying, that's true. But I thought it served to demonstrate the technology... decelerating from full forward speed to landing speed in 30 seconds was the main point of this exercise, so the touch-down wasn't really my priority. :)

    it doesn't

  • I could imagine myself as a US Marine Corp Harrier pilot or maybe the new F-35 stealth  flying this thing. Very cool indeed. So how much does it cost?

  • No, it's for X-Plane 9 :)

  • Is that for FSX??and where can i get a link for the download/purchase???
