00:00It's fantastic, it's amazing to be here and I want to give you an insight into a
00:04new deep tech what will really open a new area in aviation. So we all see that
00:10modern problems are scaling the transportation when it comes to cargo
00:14and passenger transportation and what we have also seen that there are thousands
00:19of concepts that have been developed for eVTOLs with propellers and wings and
00:24all of them they are too big and also quite complex and then also need to be
00:29more agile. So what we have seen from aviation always in the centuries is that
00:35aviation has always moved with new technologies and this is what I want to
00:39talk about. So what's next what we have seen started more than 100 years ago with
00:44the browser rights with the propeller going to jet engines the helicopters and I
00:49want to introduce to you the cycle rotor and this is a new technology what
00:53Psychotech has developed coming to aviation. Is this technology new? No it's
00:59100 years old it comes out of the marine it's been used in on boats on ferries
01:04and we want to bring it to aviation. So what makes it really special is that we
01:10have propellers and propellers are perfect making thrust in one direction we also
01:14have wings and we need wings for long distance but what is what really matters
01:18here that the cycle rotor can generate lift and thrust. So what's unique about the
01:24technology I'll explain on the video quickly and also how it works. A cyclo
01:30rotor is a propulsion system that provides much higher maneuverability, agility and
01:35compactness than conventional propulsion systems. It can instantly change the
01:40magnitude and direction of thrust 360 degrees around its rotational axis
01:46without the need to tilt any aircraft structure. A cyclo rotor consists of several
01:52parallel blades rotating around a central axis. Each blade is mechanically
01:57connected to a central hub via a con rod. By the eccentric positioning of the hub the
02:04direction and magnitude of thrust can be adjusted using a certain pitch mechanism.
02:08The combined airflow originating from each blade and its periodic change of the pitch
02:13angle during one rotation produces the thrust. This allows instant thrust vector control at a constant
02:21rotational speed enabling highly precise maneuvers such as breaking mid-air flying sideways backwards
02:29and performing on-the-spot turns. Cyclo rotors can be scaled to different sizes to suit a wide range
02:37of aircraft classes with various applications. As either main or auxiliary propulsion system they enhance
02:47stability and control of existing platforms as well as allow the configuration and design of a completely
02:53new breed of aircraft which is truly versatile and mission adaptive. By opening new use cases in markets
02:59the cyclo rotor will redefine what is possible in aviation. Exactly so it's about a new era what really
03:07gives us another tool what we can use in making new concepts especially when it comes to smaller concepts
03:13because this is something what you also see that in the size of the architectures they are quite big.
03:19So Cyclo tech has developed so far eight generations of cycle rotors and what really matters is the size
03:24because when you increase the size of a cycle rotor it increases dramatically also the performance and of the lift
03:30of the
03:30thrust what it can generate. So here we see that we can use cycle rotors in different configurations.
03:36So from Cyclo tech it's not about building a platform we want to provide a new propulsion technology
03:42that can be used for new concepts. It can be a pure cycle rotor concept it can be also a
03:48concept with a propeller
03:50and a cycle rotor even there could be a wing and what you can see here is what is really
03:55special about
03:55cycle rotor technology that you can decouple. So especially on a platform we can decouple the attitude of the
04:02platform and of the flying position. So traditional helicopters have to tilt down pitch down and roll
04:09we don't have to do that it's a complete new possibility of flying from A to B also for the
04:14passengers.
04:16So it can be used in auxiliary applications like stabilizing bigger drones bigger drones more 500
04:21kilograms really have tough situations to stabilize with their propellers it can be a mixed general mixed
04:28configuration with the cycle rotor on top that will stabilize the position without that it needs to
04:34to make adjustments in the attitude. It can be also used for carrying payload and stabilizing the payload.
04:41So I'm also coming out of helicopter industries and especially when it comes to harsh weather condition
04:46this is something what can be also used already in the next years where we can help in a compact
04:51way to
04:51stabilize payload and the helicopters or even bigger drones that are doing this in autonomous transportation.
04:59Aerial trains we have seen this very often technology coming going coming balloons are again there so we can help
05:06in a very compact way
05:07to stabilize balloons and also move them when it comes to heavy lift to do especially in mega cities or
05:14in big constructions.
05:17So this is a concept what we have done for showing also the north star of a flying car.
05:23So flying cars for us sounds very much like science fiction. I want to show you now a movie that
05:29exactly
05:30shows such a concept of cycle rotors that would carry two passengers with 150 kilometer an hour with a distance
05:37of 100 kilometer.
06:04So flying cars for us sounds very much like the
06:23on the helipad
06:27parking in
06:49so is it science fiction especially today we have a lot of ai images what we can generate
06:55here i want to show you it's not science fiction because we have built a demonstrator
06:59with five meter long 340 kilogram we call it a blackbird we developed it 11 months it's flying
07:05in austria and now i will show you the real it's not ai driven it's real images of a real
07:10demonstrator that we can achieve this in the new future
07:28take off
07:35it's not propellers
08:04so
08:04so psychotech is an austrian company we also have a subsidiary in munich in germany and we had also
08:10recently opened our subsidiary in abu dhabi um and what i really want to underline here we want to
08:16become a tier one supplier so like rolls royce today we want to provide this propulsion technology to
08:21several platforms it's not only for the future of flying car was a multi-billion market it also
08:27goes into auxiliary application drone stabilizing payload stabilizing so as i said in the beginning
08:33it's not about replacing a propeller with cycle rotor it's adding a new solution that can help to make
08:39new architectures out of propellers cycle rotors and wings thank you very much
08:45so
