SkyDrive has announced that the company is working with DUC Hélices Propellers to develop rotors for its eVTOL SKYDRIVE (SkyDrive Model SD-05). DUC Hélices Propellers specializes in high-performance carbon composite propellers and rotors, combining expertise in aerodynamics and composite materials, said the companies in a press release.
“The SKYDRIVE multi-rotor eVTOL aircraft is propelled by 12 motors and three-bladed rotors. In such multi-rotor eVTOL configurations, the rotors are critically important components that generate lift and thrust, enabling precise control of the aircraft’s attitude and movement via individual rotor speed adjustments. This distributed propulsion system also significantly contributes to noise reduction, redundancy, and overall flight safety,” said the press release.
