Leading Innovators in Sustainable Air Mobility Technology – UK Flying cars traversing the skies sounds like something from a book or a film, however, a plethora of companies are working to make semi-autonomous and entirely autonomous flying vehicles a common and accessible mode of transport. Coanda Aeronautical Turbines Limited is one of these companies, developing the TR- iXH8, a sleek and compact aircraft suitable for a trip to the shops. Indeed, the future has arrived. The transport world is currently going through a drastic overhaul as autonomous systems infiltrate the forefront of the industry. Busses, trains, cars, and even planes are undertaking this modernising treatment, being equipped with new technologies that will change transport for good. For example, autonomous driving systems have been taking the media by storm recently, namely due to Tesla’s ventures into self-driving cars that have been designed to conduct short and long-distance trips with no action required by the person in the driver’s seat. One company aiming to make an impact in this industry is Coanda Aeronautical Turbines Limited. Offering a revolutionary new way for people to move from point to point, the company has enlisted the usage of ground-breaking technology in order to develop a safe and accessible method of flying transportation. Indeed, seamlessly combining concept, style, and efficiency, Coanda Aeronautical Turbines Limited has created a product unique to the market. This is, however, a small leap for the company as it endeavours to continue the development of the life-changing vehicle. Describing itself as ‘different,’ the company sets itself apart from its competitors, claiming that it possesses a ‘different view of the way we should be moving.’ The UK-based company hosts creatives from around the world, bringing them together through collaboration in order to create a new method of transport. Together the team has delved into a remarkable and strange new world, joining the ranks of global billionaire-backed companies and giant corporations in the race to design and manufacture a feasible response to the question, “will flying transportation become commonplace within our lifetimes?” For Coanda Aeronautical Turbines Limited, the story begins with the 2016 Vision of a Green, Efficient VTOL (meaning vertical takeoff and landing) concept which over the years evolved into the innovative idea of a Hydrogen Electric Autonomous Aircraft VTOL, and a second version, a hydrogen powered Hydrogen Turboshaft Engine. Consequently, these designs led to what the company produces today – a vertical take-off and landing, plug-in, semiautonomous vehicle known as the TR- iXH8. As a result, these developments have opened up a new world. One that makes air transport available to a wider audience.
