London-based startup AltoVolo is aiming high with its entry in the developing eVTOL space. It plans to offer a powerful personal hybrid-electric aircraft that will seat three people, deliver 510 miles (821 km) of range, and hit cruise speeds up of to 220 mph (354 km/h) – all while making 80% less noise than a helicopter.
With that ducted fan layout, would it even be controllable with an engine out? Seems difficult/impossible to keep the CG inside the triangle of the engines.
