Zuri SE<br />
Czech Republic | Founded in 2017<br />
Zuri SE, founded in early 2017, has a goal to provide on-demand and door-to-door mid-range flights. The company is privately held and<br />
based in Prague, the Czech Republic. Zuri had performed flight tests with different wingspans and scales on its first-generation model. The<br />
company changed the configuration from Lift and Cruise to Vectored Thrust in 2022 and renamed the model Zuri 2.0.<br />

The Zuri 2.0 adopts a Vectored Thrust configuration and has a pair of high wings with winglets. There are four tilt-propellers on the wings, and<br />
the other four are located on the V-shaped tail. The vehicle has a turbine and a generator, where the turbine engine can continuously charge<br />
the battery during the flight, with the intention of not needing long recharging stops. The primary market for Zuri 2.0 is mid-range regional<br />
connections. The first-generation model of Zuri was a Lift and Cruise. In 2022, Zuri SE decided to use tilting rotors after flying a 3.5-meterwingspan<br />
model in June. Later in December, the company changed the tail from an inverted T-shape to a V-tail and planned to equip the tail<br />
with larger propellers.<br />
