The Concept Integrity adopted a Vectored Thrust configuration with four booms extended out from the fuselage, where each boom had<br />
a tilting set of four smaller booms with propellors suited at the end. The vehicle was originally designed by Tecnalia, a Spanish R&D<br />
center, and UMILES Next acquired the patent in 2021. The first phase of the vehicle has been remotely piloted, with increasing autonomy<br />
representing the different milestones to full autonomy. The Concept Integrity can be used for different scenarios, but it is mainly focused<br />
on the daily commute and tourism market.<br />
