Fancraft™
Today's most powerful VTOL capability
Fancraft™ technology is what sets us apart from everyone else. It’s why our aircraft don’t look like anything you’ve ever seen outside of Hollywood or your dreams.
Fancraft™
WHAT IS IT
Fancraft™️ technology is a groundbreaking suite of aerodynamic innovations that make it possible to design a vehicle that is actually the size of a car and can carry the same number of passengers but can fly with no exposed rotor. It can literally take-off and land anywhere, any time, in any weather.

Fancraft™
The only aircraft to combine:
quiet
H2
all weather
FAA compliant
Unprece-
dented access
high occupancy
Compact
with large payload
Fancraft™️ have 1/4 the footprint of a helicopter with a more spacious cabin. They eliminate the risks associated with external rotors without compromising any of a helicopter’s payload, range or hover capabilities.
More aircraft carrying more passengers can fly and land in less space making Fancraft™️ a key element in establishing a successful urban, aerial, mass-transportation system.
Quiet
comparable to street traffic
Part of being “urban friendly” is being quiet. Ducted rotors enclosed in the fuselage are inherently quieter than an open rotor, which means that Fancraft™️ start out at a natural advantage when it comes to noise.
Add to that our multi-bladed, slow-turning rotors which generate less noise at its source and you wind up with an aircraft that will blend seamlessly into the ambient sound of city traffic at 70 dBA from just a block away.
In the air
over 250 flights
Our flight test aircraft, Cormorant, has completed over 250 successful test flights.
Cormorant is a common testbed airframe for both CityHawk and the unmanned aircraft being developed by Urban Aeronautics’ second subsidiary Tactical Robotics Ltd.
Safe
FAA compliant
While others talk about safety features like redundancy and reliability, we know that there is only one safety standard that counts and that’s the FAA or its European equivalent, EASA. These are the authorities who are charged with protecting the public and setting the standard for what is truly safe and reliable.
Fancraft™ are the only flying cars that have been designed in accordance with time tested FAA certification standards for commercial aircraft, by engineers who have experience in designing FAA certified aircraft that are flying today.
-
Twin engine
reliable
Our aircraft are twin-engined, with the ability to continue flying following one engine failure. In addition, all of our Fancraft™ are equipped with a rocket deployed parachute, bringing the aircraft and its occupants safely to the ground in the event of any unexpected, catastrophic event.
-
Scalable
2 models
Fancraft™️ are scalable allowing for models with varying occupancy ranging from an equivalent to a family sedan to an alternative to a commuter shuttle bus.
