Autonomous Flight demonstrates powered Y6S development prototype
Autonomous Flight showed a full-scale Y6S development prototype operating its fans and rotating rotor shrouds to demonstrate the eVTOL tiltrotor concept.
Evidence notes
- The development prototype powered its fans and rotated the front rotor shrouds to demonstrate the planned transition mechanism on the ground.
- The full-scale airframe represented the two-seat Y6S configuration while the company prepared financing for a flyable prototype.
- The demonstrator translated the Y6S tiltrotor layout into a full-scale physical airframe.
Company context
Autonomous Flight develops electric vertical-take-off-and-landing aircraft for advanced air mobility. Its work centres on distributed electric propulsion, aircraft controls and vehicle concepts for short urban and regional journeys.
