With An Innovative Idea, The Company Jetoptera Is Developing An Electric Flying Car That Does Not Use Blades And Flies With The Use Of Fluid Propulsion

Jetoptera is in the process of developing an electric car capable of flying without blades, using only fluid propulsion. The company estimates to launch the flying car within two years and aims to provide an electric air taxi. The project is named J-2000 and is a VTOL vehicle, vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, which has a lower cost than a helicopter.

The propulsion system of Jetoptera’s electric flying car is different from other companies, becoming a unique feature of the company. Much like the blade-less fans popularized, there are no rotating blades in Jetoptera’s fluid propulsion systems. Of course, there are other rotating blades in other parts of the flying car’s system, and both require the passage of fluids to create a small flow of compressed air and use it to suck in a much larger volume of ambient air at high speed.

Benefits Of The Blade-Free Electric Flying Car

According to the company, this type of system improves propulsion efficiency by 10%, and also reduces fuel consumption by 50% compared to small turbojets. The propulsion system, when compared to turbofans or turbo propellers, is 30% lighter and much less complex.

The company also claims that being lightweight makes it easier to tilt, allowing for VTOL lift and hover operations, as well as fast forward cruising flight. Furthermore, unlike any other type of propulsion system for existing electric flying cars on the market, it does not require a circular shape. In addition to all these benefits, the company’s blade-free electric car has one of the quietest systems in the skies.

The company subcontracted Paragrine Systems to conduct noise tests as part of research funded by the U.S. DoD. The test found that the propulsion system is 15 dBA lower than blades powered by internal combustion engines and this is before any acoustic treatment, which according to the company, can reduce it by up to 25 dBA.

Jetoptera Plans A Family Based On The Electric Flying Car

The flying car, J-2000, received its name due to its maximum takeoff weight of 2,000 lb (907 kg), and the company already aims for a whole family of flying cars of this type, based on the design. This includes high-speed versions, aiming for around 644 km/h with a range of 644 km. Additionally, it will also create a flying car model with a range of 1930 km at a speed of 322 km/h.

What once seemed like fiction is beginning to become doctrine: the soldier of the future is being equipped as a walking technological platform, with body sensors, augmented reality, and total integration into digital combat.

The Earth only had supermountains twice in 4.5 billion years, and during both times, life took a giant leap: first, visible organisms emerged, and then came the animals with skeletons during the Cambrian explosion.

The world has been generating 80% of electricity by boiling water for 200 years, but China has just turned on a machine that replaces steam with supercritical CO2 and promises to jump from 33% to 50% efficiency.
