Transwing

Smaller footprint ● LONGER RANGE/ENDURANCE ● FASTER CRUISE ● Greater payload ● GREATER AGILITY

Introducing Transwing, an entirely new type of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft design

Transwing is a patented vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft design that folds its wings during flight to transition between rotorcraft and fixed-wing configurations.

This design employs a novel transverse folding wing to achieve efficient vertical lift and horizontal flight, which can be applied to increase range, endurance, and/or payload, depending on mission requirements, giving it key advantages over other VTOL aircraft designs for certain missions.

Smaller Footprint – No ground support equipment required and just 1/3 the landing area of other aircraft with a similar wingspan

Longer Range/Endurance – The minimal time spent in the takeoff/landing and transitional phases of flight, the option of higher-aspect wings, and the elimination of the extra weight/drag of separate propulsion systems for the takeoff/landing and cruise phases of flight provide increased efficiency

Faster Cruise – The clean, aerodynamic airframe with propulsors that are used for all phases of flight and attached rigidly to the wing plus optional higher wing loading enable faster cruise speeds

Greater Payload – Payload weight fractions of greater than 20% are typical

Greater Agility – By folding the wings vertically for takeoff and landing, Transwing aircraft are less susceptible to vertical gusts and turbulent air during takeoff and landing

We believe that advanced air mobility can change the world for the better. Our mission is to build the safest and most efficient vertical takeoff and landing aircraft possible. We believe the Transwing will have a profound and positive impact on the entire aviation industry.

Transwing is truly a breakthrough in VTOL aircraft design. Our first U.S. patent was issued in April 2019, which encompasses the entirety of the Transwing aircraft design. Our second U.S. patent was issued in February 2020. In April 2021, our third U.S. patent was issued. In May 2022, we were granted our fourth patent and our first internationally (in Japan). We have additional patents pending in the United States, European Patent Office, Canada, China, Hong Kong, South Korea, India, Brazil, Israel, Japan, and Australia.

We also have significant trade secrets that enable Transwing aircraft to operate smoothly and safely and with high efficiency.
