Austrian innovators unveil the BlackBird, an electric flying car with next-gen propulsion technology that promises unparalleled maneuverability, safety, and eco-friendly transport.

Flying cars have long been a symbol of futuristic innovation, and an Austrian company is turning that vision into reality with a cutting-edge electric vertical take-off and landing vehicle (eVTOL) called the BlackBird.

Equipped with CycloTech‘s advanced CycloRotor propulsion system, BlackBird offers unparalleled maneuverability and safety. This groundbreaking technology allows full 360° thrust vector control, enabling vertical take-offs, sideways and backward flight, mid-air deceleration, and even parallel parking. With six CycloRotors onboard, the vehicle ensures redundancy for engine failure, providing an added layer of safety.

BlackBird’s seventh-generation CycloRotor technology is designed to make eVTOLs quieter, more efficient, and passenger-friendly. Its fixed flight path eliminates the need for banking or tilting, ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride in all conditions.

Measuring 16 feet in length, 7.5 feet in width, and 6.5 feet in height, BlackBird can achieve speeds of up to 75 miles per hour and carry a payload of 750 pounds. CycloTech, which has conducted over 800 test flights since 2021, is aiming to complete the demonstrator by the end of this year, with test flights scheduled for early 2025.

In a competitive landscape with players like Toyota and emerging startups, CycloTech believes its CycloRotor propulsion system will stand out. With promises of eco-friendly, congestion-free transport, flying cars could dramatically reshape the way people travel.

“Our BlackBird showcases how this technology will unlock the market for flying cars,” said Hans-Georg Kinsky, CycloTech’s CEO.

The company has yet to reveal details about the vehicle’s battery or interior but remains optimistic about the near future of airborne mobility.
