Vertical Takeoff and Landing Aircraft

Few developments in aviation have been as difficult to achieve as emissions-free flight. Combining green propulsion with vertical takeoff and landing, along with fixed wing speed and range used to be impossible, but Ascendance Flight Technologies has developed an electric aircraft that and not only fills all three performance requirements, but can do so as a commercially viable proposition. It’s a significant achievement, made possible by new generation of advanced design tools that incorporate high-level simulation, the Virtual Twin and cloud connectivity.
