Описание к видео Gyrocopter Uber air taxi becomes eVTOL as Jaunt Air Mobility takes Carter Copter rotor tech

Jaunt Air Mobility is a start-up company founded in April 2019. It is currently raising capital to use slowed-rotor technology developed by Carter Aviation to take part in the Uber Elevate program for flying taxis.

Jaunt is a single-rotor compound helicopter that incorporates a patented rotor system, which enables both VTOL and high-speed flight. The rotor system is capable of reducing the hover RPM to one-third for cruise, which significantly reduces noise and drag. The rotor lift and speed are reduced in accordance with speed until approximately 150 knots, where the wing is providing all the lift and the rotor is completely unloaded and free-spinning to minimise drag.
