This eVTOL Can Still Fly After Total Power Loss

What happens when an electric VTOL aircraft loses all propulsion? The SKYFLY AXE has a surprisingly old-school answer: use the wings and glide. In this video, we take a deep look at the Skyfly Axe eVTOL, a two-seat electric aircraft designed to combine vertical takeoff with conventional wing-borne flight. Unlike many multicopter-style eVTOLs, the Axe can use VTOL when no runway is available, perform short takeoffs when space allows, and fly efficiently on its wings during cruise. But the most interesting feature is its emergency capability. Skyfly says the Axe is designed to remain controllable during a complete propulsion loss while in wing-borne flight, allowing the pilot to glide toward a landing using conventional aerodynamic controls. We break down its: 70 kWh battery 280 kW peak electric power 100+ mile target range ~100 mph cruise speed 6:1 glide ratio VTOL and STOL capability Eight electric motors Two-seat configuration MOSAIC / Light-Sport certification path Safety advantages and limitations But there is an important catch. Gliding only works when the aircraft already has enough airspeed and altitude. A complete power loss during low hover is a very different situation. So is the Skyfly Axe one of the smartest personal eVTOL designs yet? Or is it still too early to call it the answer? Watch to the end as we examine the engineering, safety, battery limitations, price, and the biggest challenge Skyfly still has to prove. #SkyflyAxe #eVTOL #ElectricAircraft #FlyingCar #FutureAviation
