CycloTech’s unique, electrically driven CycloRotors make it possible to vary the thrust force and direction in a fully circular path. This 360° thrust vector control differs fundamentally from conventional aircraft propulsion systems (jets, propellers, rotors), which can only generate thrust in one direction.
Markus Steinke, Chief Development Officer at CycloTech, emphasised the market opportunities of the technology: “CycloRotors open the door to a new mass market in sustainable aviation, with the potential for millions of vehicle propulsion units to be produced per year. The long-term goal with our CycloRotors is to turn the vision of the flying car into reality.”
CycloTech’s CycloRotor technology enables the development of smaller, more comfortable, and highly manoeuvrable eVTOL aircraft that stand out from current market solutions. The technology allows a seamless transition from vertical to horizontal flight phases without the aircraft having to change its attitude or activate additional propulsion systems.
With the new funding now available, CycloTech is well poised to develop its CycloRotor technology to the required safety and performance standards, taking a leading role in shaping the future of air mobility.
About CyclTech
The Future in Mobility
CycloTech GmbH is the world leading company for aviation propulsion systems based on the Voith-Schneider-Principle. The Austrian company develops the unique 360° thrust vectoring CycloRotor, a new, sustainable, highly maneuverable propulsion system for the new air mobility demands of the 21st century. The compact design and instant control of magnitude and orientation of the omni-directional thrust of CycloRotors enable easy transition from hover to forward flight regimes, gust control and precision landing, ideal for safe operation in crowed airspace and confined areas. CycloTech aims at making individual air mobility as normal as driving a car – opening the sky for everyone.
