Tilt rotor aircraft with tip jet driven rotor WASP-500

Problem and implemented solution

The market for intercity transportation or to remote sites hardly uses air transportation due to the high cost of transportation by VTOL aircraft (helicopters or helicopter-type drones) with a payload of over 100 kg. The WASP-500 tiltrotor aircraft with a payload of 300 kg will reduce the cost of transportation by almost 10 times due to its unique propulsion system using a tip jet driven rotor.

Description of competitive advantages

Comparison of WASP-500 with a helicopter-type drone with a similar takeoff weight of 500 kg: 1) Payload 300 kg versus 150 kg. 2) Flight speed 470 km/h versus 160 km/h. 3) Flight hour cost is 30% better due to lower maintenance costs. As a result, the direct cost of transporting 200 kg of cargo over a distance of 1000 km is more than 8 times cheaper.
