Jaunt Air Mobility Advances Flight Tech


During 2022, Jaunt Air Mobility continued the development of its fixed-wing/rotor eVTOL aircraft being developed for numerous markets such as urban passenger and cargo transport, corporate, EMS, and law enforcement operations.


The all-electric Jaunt multi-passenger eVTOL uses a fixed-wing platform with four forward-facing propellers and a larger horizontal main rotor to achieve flight.


“Jaunt has progressed the slowed rotor compound (SRC) technology used to minimize rotor noise and maximize aircraft performance by modulating the rotor rpm and blade loading through a sophisticated algorithm that accounts for ambient


conditions, altitude, and airspeed of the aircraft,” said Martin Peryea, senior vice president and general manager of Electric Air Mobility for Jaunt Air Mobility’s owner, AIRO Group Holdings. “In addition to optimizing aircraft performance and noise, the SRC system calculates and maintains the required rotor inertial energy required to complete a safe autorotative landing upon a complete loss of propulsive power from any given altitude and speed.”


The need to create quiet and safe eVTOLs for operations in and around city centers is an absolute must. “Urban air mobility (UAM) will not be successful without addressing affordability, convenience, and public acceptance,” Peryea said.
