Opener black fly (EXperimental) PRICE TBA* ETA TBA
On July 12, 2018, Opener of Palo Alto, California, announced its BlackFly eVTOL with a spectacular video of the aircraft flying and hovering over the scenic California meadows and mountains.
BlackFly can take off vertically or with an extremely short takeoff run of one to three feet; it can ascend vertically or at 35 degrees, 45 degrees or 70 degrees following a diagonal flight path. The cockpit controls consist of a fly-by-wire joystick with a thumb stick.
BlackFly is a pioneer in the early development of the eEVTOL aircraft and we at FlyOnE are eager to bring this aircraft to the Aus market as soon as economically possible.
