Summary: The aviation industry is on the brink of a revolution with the introduction of the world’s first hydrogen-powered Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) aircraft, named the Sirius Jet. This innovative aircraft is designed by the startup company, Urban Aeronautics, which aims to redefine urban mobility and air transport. The Sirius Jet promises zero emissions and a quieter, more efficient flight experience compared to traditional aircraft. This breakthrough could potentially transform the flying car market and attract significant investment interest.
The Sirius Jet is the world’s first hydrogen-powered VTOL aircraft
The new propulsion system, powered by 28 ducted fans (20 along the wings and 8 on the canard), reduces noise emissions and operates each fan with a separate electric motor. The 3-seater aircraft, named Sirius Jet, has a range of 1150 miles (1850 km) and is designed for vertical take-off and landing (VTOL), allowing point-to-point travel and landing at chosen locations. It produces noise levels below 60 dB, is zero-emission, and environmentally friendly. Unlike fully electric eVTOLs with a typical range of 150 miles, SiriusJet can take off and land like a helicopter and fly as fast as an airplane. It features a pressurized cabin, ducted fan design, can reach altitudes of 30,000 feet, and has a cruise speed of 520 km/h (323 mph).
