WATERS TRUST<br />
The Vision VTOL (Vertical Take-off and Landing) from the U.S. is designed by Mike Waters specifically for the<br />
imminent evolution of electric power storage and energy breakthroughs. The Vision is the beginning of a new<br />
breed of transportation that is specifically designed for ultra long range electric power and storage - point to point<br />
transportation. First designed over 10 years ago, all technologies required are now almost fully developed. This is<br />
the single seat prototype. It uses a slightly modified, sailplane fuselage with two pairs of tilting and canalized fans.<br />

XTI AIRCRAFT<br />
The American Company lead by founder David Brody and Rober Labelle (Former CEO of Agusta Westland North<br />
Amerika) started developing this 6 seat VTOL Aircraft in 2012 . The three electric Motors (with 250 KW each) are<br />
driving multi blade ducted Fans and receive their energy from two turboshaft engines. After vertical take off the<br />
two front Rotors are turned into <strong>flight</strong> direction. The third fan is covered for reducing the drag. The aimed maximum<br />
speed is 350 Miles per hour. And the max Cruise altitude shall be 30 000 feet. For the electric Integration<br />

MORE VTOL PROJECTS AROUND THE WORLD<br />
MBesides these concrete projects above, of which several are already flying, there are many more companies around the globe<br />
working on private VTOL projects. Some work very silent while others make a big wave. As we do not have reliable data on<br />
these VTOLs, in the following we give an overview with a name, image and web address. Info is changing quickly and there<br />
will be more projects every month, this is where we stand as of July <strong>2017</strong>. More info always on www.e-<strong>flight</strong>-expo.com.<br />
