Russia Cyclocar VTOL Hybrid-Electric Flying Car Military
Russia’s Federal Government announced this week that they are continuing development on their “Cyclocar” prototype, with test flights set for 2022 and production by 2024. This hybrid-electric autonomous VTOL aircraft uses four cyclical propellers for propulsion and has room for six passengers, or a maximum payload capacity of 1,323 pounds. A miniature prototype weighing in at 140-pounds has successfully been tested. Read more for a video and additional information.



The full-sized version will measure 20.3 by 19.6 feet and have a maximum speed of 155 mph in the air, which should be fast enough to transport soldiers anywhere on the battlefield. On a full charge, expect a range of up to 311 miles, while a four fixed-wheeled landing gear design ensures maximum safety, as it allows the aircraft to safely touch down on surfaces with a 30-degree incline.
