What
A new mode of personal mobility - The
Epiphany™ Transporter - was recently
revealed by Applied eVTOL Concepts.
The aircraft provides fast, door-to-door,
airborne transportation with VTOL capability.
In lieu of long, burdensome
wings, the compact advanced vehicle
configuration vaunts morphing, dual-mode,
ducted thrusters enabling it to
hover like a helicopter, and attain efficient
high-speed cruise flight like an airplane. Intended to be simple and safe to operate, the key to its potential
commercial appeal is its predicted 300+ mile-range, 160-mph top speed; and quiet, neighbor-friendly sound (< 55
dB @ 50'). About the size of a Tesla Model 'S' automobile, the Epiphany Transporter can accommodate two people
and fits into a standard one-car garage with its thrusters folded up. Originally developed under a $5.1 million
DARPA grant, the NASA-proven ducted thrusters have undergone over a quarter-century of refinement through
full-scale flight testing in wind tunnels and several prototype manned vehicles.

safe, quiet, and environmentally friendly advanced air mobility.
