So After 78 years it would seem that the helicopter may have been reinvented. SureFly is a personal helicopter/VTOL aircraft designed for safe and easy flight. It has eight independent motors each driving a single carbon fiber propeller, a backup battery power system, and a ballistic parachute to safely land in the event of emergency. The SureFly has been designed to provide unparalleled safety.
SureFly is changing the helicopter industry. Now is the time to discover the affordable, easy-to-pilot, safe answer to personal flight. At a target price of $78K this will be an affordable way to fly.
The Workhorse Surefly uses an electric quadcopter layout with two contra-rotating propellers on each corner. It also includes a range-extending petrol engine, giving it a range of 70 miles and a top speed of 70 mph. The gas engine can then be fueled quickly with petroleum for immediate onward flight.
The manufacturer Workhorse already have pedigree in building transport as Workhorse already builds range-extended trucks. The Surefly uses the same range-extending BMW 600cc twin-cylinder generator engine as the company’s pick-up and step van offerings
The proposed engine for the Surefly is already in use in BMW products. In the BMW i3 car, it is used as a range-extender, and the same convenient form-factor of the compact, narrow and flat engine is that it also provides the motive power for BMW’s super scooter C600.
Workhorse also build the UAV delivery system which provides a drone for home delivery.
It would seem from the initial review of this product that it could well corner the personal helicoptor space based on affordability, economical use and safety.
