Le développement du CycloRotor se poursuit, après un premier vol d’essai indoor en 2021 (voir ici). Pour mémoire (voir ici), son concepteur, la société autrichienne CycloTech, destine cet appareil au transport de personnes. Il repose sur des moteurs très différents de ceux que l’on trouve habituellement sur des eVTOL, basés sur le propulseur Voith Schneider imaginé en 1926.
Vols d’essais en extérieur
Selon un communiqué de presse, « Austro Control a accordé une autorisation d’exploitation UAS pour la catégorie « spécifique”, CycloTech est donc désormais qualifié pour exploiter son appareil de démonstration en tant que véhicule aérien sans pilote, en visibilité directe (VLOS) conformément aux réglementations et procédures respectives dans une zone d’essai contrôlée de 2.500m² et un environnement sécurisé de 100.000m² ». L’autorisation a nécessité la mise en oeuvre de la méthode d’évaluation des risques SORA et du concept d’opérations (ConOps). Les vols d’essai avec le CycleRotor de démonstration débuteront courant mars 2023 sur un aérodrome dans la région de Linz, dans le nord de l’Autriche.
