PROJECTSMAD BAT
optimized for short-medium distances,
with robust payload versatility.
Aerodynamics based on new principles
like Adifo
The Mad Bat is a VTOL tilt biplane based on new aerodynamic concepts like our previous aircraft – Adifo, but also on innovative units and propulsion systems.
The Mad Bat has a very fast transition from hovering to cruise flight, probably the fastest at this moment from quad to plane mode, because the inclination of the wings is natural and it’s depending on the flight speed.
The cockpit stays naturally perpendicular on the ground regardless of the angle of attack of the wings, but the joint between the cockpit and the wings is controlled to prevent balances, but also to adjust the center of gravity according to the flight regime.
Using the same innovative aerodynamic principles as Adifo, the airfoil allows very large angles of attack, the boundary layer remaining attached at angles that can exceed 60 degrees, much more than a classic profile. This leads to a huge energy saving, because the effect given by the wings contributes massively to keeping the device in the air from very low speeds.
The Mad Bat is a VTOL that can take off and land vertically using the landing gear built into the wings, but it can also land and take off like a classic plane using the cockpit’s landing gear.
