Startup makes aircraft that takes off, lands like helicopter
US-based startup Transcend Air Corporation has developed a six-seater 'Vy 400' aircraft that flies like a plane and takes off or lands like a helicopter. It features a tilt-wing, fly-by-wire navigation system and comes with a whole-aircraft parachute. The aircraft can travel at a speed of 650 kmph, three times faster than a standard helicopter and offers 725 km range.
