This unique system on the market can control the thrust vector in 360 degrees, making it ideal for flying cars. The model, which is expected to perform its first test flights in 2025, will be equipped with six rotors that allow for vertical take-off and landing, as well as providing braking and deceleration in the air without generating tilt, offering a smoother ride.
With dimensions of 4.9 meters in length, 2.3 meters in width, and 2 meters in height, the BlackBird will have a payload capacity of up to 340 kg and a top speed of 120 km/h. The six rotors ensure greater safety and precision, allowing for lateral, rearward maneuvers and stable flights in any weather conditions.

The model, which follows the design of a concept flying car by the company, the CruiseUp, is expected to cater to the short flight market, such as air taxis, with an estimated range of 100 km, providing space for two people.
Although it is not yet ready, the BlackBird has already completed more than 800 test flights with a previous prototype and promises to bring a revolution to personal air transportation.
CycloTech raised $21.8 million in 2024 and plans to launch the final version of the BlackBird in early 2025. However, the company has not yet released information on the price or the interior space of the model.
