Blackjack, T Model is probably one of the ultimate personal air vehicles, without going supersonic.  It can take off vertically from just about anywhere and can fly up to 400 kts, with a range of 500-700 miles. It makes for one serious city to city commuter, weekend get aways, and very high performance.

Blackjack is so high performance it could even do barrel rolls and back flips.
 

Controls for this aircraft are meant to be autonomous, so the pilot does not need to fly it manually. Just selected the destination and it will plot the flight path. Any number of combinations and methodologies can be used; which are similar to commercial rc drones.  But the pilot can also fly the aircraft manually via stick mounted on the center console. 1 control stick for both the passengers.


The airframe itself is built around the high pressure conforming tank witch is engineered for beyond 500,000psi tensile strength, making it many times stronger then conventional aircraft, and since it is fueled by hydrogen instead of kerosene or electric, that reduces the fuel/energy weight by about 95%.

Rotor's are able to deliver up to 1,600 LBS of static thrust at take off and a maximum take off weight of 1,400 LBS, this aircraft will take off rapidly. For higher altitudes, the rotors can spin up further for 1,800 LBS thrust then cycle down during forward flight. The rotors are not props, but variable pitch 7 blade rotors with IO Aircraft QUIET TECH© built in. So these rotors are quiet. Not like that matters much though, since this is a screaming Unified Thrust Producing Gas Turbine Generator. Yep, it's a jet too.

Ever wonder what the next generation beyond the world's smallest jet would be?  Here it is.  A Plane, a helicopter, a quadcopter; All in one.  The aerospace sector refers to this type of aircraft as a multirotor, but it is so much more then that. It's the corvette of the skies.

As with anyone concerned about flight, the safety features are immense. 

  • If there is a motor failure, each nacelle has 2 motors, so the other motor will take up the load of the failed motor providing several minutes to land safely.

  • If the turbine flames out, there is a lithium backup for 5 minutes, giving time for the turbine to either restart, or up to 5 minutes to land safely.

  • If failure occurs over water, this aircraft floats, since it is built around its mass high pressure tank. It will not sink.

  • If catastrophic failure occurs, it is also equipped with dual BRS (Ballistic Recovery System), so if at high speeds a high speed drag chute (H-BRS) will deploy slowing the aircraft down to below 180kts rapidly (3-5 seconds) at which time the main BRS system will deploy and the entire aircraft will come down safely.

Overall, every contingency is designed into this aircraft.
