At the MAKS-2017 exhibition, the Russian Helicopters holding company entered into an agreement with the SuperOx company, which develops air taxi with power plants based on high-temperature superconductivity technologies. Representatives of the companies said they would be engaged in the joint development of promising aircraft, which may become a popular transport in the future.
- We are creating a future in which a new type of aircraft will be available for every resident of the metropolis. Eco-friendly, high-speed and silent air taxi with the possibility of vertical take-off. Ideal for urban infrastructure, - quoted TASS Chairman of the Board of Directors of "SuperOks" Andrei Vavilov.
The head of the holding company "Helicopters of Russia" assured that he would attract various partners to the development of new types of aircraft, and said that the basis for a number of future projects would be the converting plane VRT30 under development, which SuperX brought to the MAKS-2017 exhibition as an experimental model . In the future, on its basis it is planned to create a full-fledged aircraft with a take-off weight of up to two tons.
The developers of the convertoplane reported that the VRT30 is already passing the next flight test stage, but it is not yet known when a fully-functional operating sample will be created based on the prototype.
