HopFlyt Cyclone, an electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) drone, incorporates Willard Ray Custer’s channel wing concept with semicircular tandem wings to enhance lift during transitions. This innovative design reduces fuel consumption by 10% in hover and transition phases, making it easier for eVTOLs to manage the challenging shift from vertical to horizontal flight. Developers should watch how this technology evolves as it could lead to more efficient VTOL designs.
