We are used to thinking about vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft as being powered by spinning blades. After all, just like helicopters, they need spinning blades to lift off and move around ...

These CycloRotor barrels are known as Voith-Schneider propellers, and they spin at a reasonably constant rate when an aircraft is off the ground, rather than needing to constantly speed up and slow ...

The CycloTech CycloRotor eVTOL concept aircraft has been launched. The prototype is coming a decade and a half after CycloTech introduced the concept. The CycloTech CruiseUp features propulsion ...

It sounds complicated, but the Cyclogyro technology is at the heart of this flying contraption that seems to be in a league of its own. It’s called the CycloRotor and it has just reached a milestone ...
