The Vehicle

Hardware designed for the sky it flies in.

Most eVTOL vehicles are designed first and then retrofitted to whatever airspace regulations eventually emerge. The Aeroboticar is designed the other way around. Every specification — climb rate, energy envelope, communication stack, vertical separation tolerance — is derived from the requirements of the Lorenz Airspace Protocol.

The result is a vehicle that is not just compatible with dense urban airspace operations, but native to them. The Aeroboticar is the reference implementation that proves the protocol works in physical flight — the way the original iPhone proved multi-touch was viable at scale.

The aircraft uses a ducted fan tri-foil architecture with a lift-generating rear wing for efficient forward flight. Electric propulsion. Carbon-composite airframe. Currently at 1:5 scale; full-scale development in progress.
