eVTOL Gives Glimpse Into The Future Of Personal Air Travel
CycloTech’s CruiseUp eVTOL has been 15 years in the making, and could redefine urban mobility.
After 15 years of planning and testing, CycloTech’s air car concept, known as the CruiseUp eVTOL, offers a glimpse into a sci-fi future where personal air travel isn’t just possible but commonplace. The high-tech aircraft uses a patented propulsion system called CycloRotor, allowing for unparalleled agility and control.
Less than twice the size of a regular car, the CycloTech eVTOL can carry two passengers. The company says that the air car won’t take to the skies until at least 2035, as it is waiting for the air taxi industry to mature and needs time to overcome regulatory hurdles and energy storage issues.
CycloTech’s eVTOL air car is designed for short-distance city commuting and stands out due to its futuristic design and exceptional maneuverability. CycloTech is headquartered in Linz, Austria, and has become known for its development work on “Voith-Schneider” propellers. The six barrel-shaped propulsion units on the CruiseUp use wing blades that tilt as the barrels spin, allowing for rapid directional changes in 360 degrees, combined with a top speed of 150 km/h and a range of 100 km.

In the marine world, super-fast thrust vectoring is the main advantage of Voith-Schneider propellers. The technology is already used to help tugs, ferries, and firefighting ships position themselves precisely in shifting tides, quickly balancing against currents that might tip them over.
While the path to commercial success for CycloTech remains in the balance, the CruiseUp concept still has plenty of potential in smaller drone applications, where precision positioning and agility are invaluable. The CruiseUp eVTOL’s innovative mechanics and visually striking design make it a compelling addition to the rapidly evolving landscape of personal air travel.
