HopFlyt

2017 #alumnus Clark Fuller's story is one of passion, perseverance and not being afraid to strive for excellence. We couldn't be more #PennCollegeProud of all that Clark has achieved throughout his years as a student and after earning his degree in engineering design technology in 2017! As a modeling and simulation lead at HopFlyt, Clark is one of the many talented individuals assisting the company in achieving their goal of being a trailblazer in the advanced aerial mobility industry. The Maryland-based company is developing cutting-edge emission-free aircraft that can lift off, hover and land like a helicopter yet fly like a plane. Clark's journey from a student here at #PennCollege to where he is today is a truly inspiring one and you can read all about it here: https://bit.ly/3Uay9z4

HopFlyt is excited to announce that we have landed at our new facility on Maryland's beautiful Eastern Shore. ? Located at the Salisbury Regional Airport, the Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Autonomous Innovation Center is a new and purpose built facility designed as a hub to accelerate commercial UAS adoption in this unique geographical environment. Here, HopFlyt will continue development and test of our electric and hybrid-electric VTOL aircraft product line. ? We are excited to bring our team to Salisbury to help usher in the next generation of transportation!

At HopFlyt, we seek to reimagine what's possible in aviation. Will you be along for the ride?

HopFlyt's vision for the future of sustainable aviation is a family of electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft. These aircraft combine shared concepts, and are designed to impact every corner of the emerging Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) market. ? Venturi: Our flagship aircraft, Venturi is designed to carry up to four passengers at high speed along regional journeys. ?? Cyclone: With an advanced hybrid-electric power system, Cyclone is designed to stay in the air for many hours at a time, aiding military and first responders. ?? Squall: In the lightweight cargo class, Squall can perform rapid logistics missions, delivering cargo in urban and regional environments.

Wishing you a great Friday from the team at HopFlyt! ?? ?

HopFlyt is excited to share this video of our Group 2 UAS, Squall, completing it's first fully autonomous flight! Here, Squall completes a simple test pattern: performing VTOL and fixed wing transitions, snap turns, and a precision vertical landing, all without operator input. Autonomous flight test allows our team to carefully study aircraft performance and handling under controlled conditions, and helps pave the way for the future of un-crewed flight and the next generation of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) with HopFlyt technology. #aam #evtol #vfs #uas #vtol #flighttest #autonomy https://lnkd.in/g_Pq2nVx

The Venturi is HopFlyt's vision of the future of sustainable electric aviation. The Venturi is a conceptual, four passenger, #eVTOL aircraft that leverages HopFlyt's novel and patented electric propulsion system. HopFlyt is actively conducting scale flight test to mature the technology and make our vision of the future of aviation a reality. https://lnkd.in/gpScns_F

Happy #FixedWingFriday from HopFlyt!
