I believe we all are explorers. We need to boldly go where no one has gone before. The air above us is our next frontier. I believe to expand into this frontier we need to provide everyone means to fly; to provide personal vehicles that makes flying easy and fun, relaxing and safe, time saving and ubiquitous as today's driving or riding a bike. It's the next step in our technological evolution. Imagine a vehicle that can take-off from your driveway, able to fly and land at any destination, like your local grocery store, or your workplace. Your commute time reduces from 1-2 hours to 10-15 minutes. Your 5 hour drive to your favourite retreat spot is now an hour away. Imagine what possibilities are opening if you are able to commute 500 km each day. Imagine a vehicle capable of fulfilling the dream of flying to each of us, making flying as personal and as simple as it gets. Imagine a vehicle able to offer ubiquitously the experience, thrill and exhilaration of flying, making flying fun again. Imagine a vehicle offering the ability for you to explore the wonders of our planet from perspectives that were inaccessible before. Such a vehicle would compress the distances for everyone, making the world smaller, making easier for people to physically connect, saving time for each of us to spend more time with loved ones, and even eroding artificial barriers between people. We, the Aliptera team, are working towards fulfilling this dream. The patented lip wing technology enables designing of efficient vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, having similar range, speed and fuel economy as small air-planes. The new lip wing aircraft would be ideal for personal use, capable of taking-off and landing virtually anywhere, without the need of airports and runways. As the rotor is encased in a duct, it is much safer, and generates less noise, the aircraft can be used in urban environments, usually not accessible to normal aircraft. Fly .. explore the world.
