JETcopter structure

all components can be changeable  - for example  will be possible to upgrade JETcopter fuselage with latest  versions of power plant or airturbines  .

WHY JETCOPTER WILL BE MORE EFFICIENT VTOL ?

Jetcopter and helicopter climb ways  . JETcopter is able to use air lifting power , helicopter not  . 

JETcopter evolution 

Engine  :

       
 2 x 450 hp  automotive with  duplicated fuel , cooling  , power supply systems .

Reliable and less mechanically complex 

no swash plates , no cyclic , no hydraulics , no clutch .

Take off :  helicopter mode or  plane mode

 fly as plane 

will be able to land at auto parking ,
will be able to maneuver safe between cars

powered by reliable automotive motors ,
may not need helicopter pilot licence 
much easier to pilot

Production costs ( compared with 6 place helicopter ) :

 rotors  -   70 %  cheaper 

carbon fiber fuselage - 50 % cheaper

 motors - 90 % cheaper

Operational costs

predicted 60-70 % lower than helicopter

 better aerodynamics
better functionality

 equipped with 2 parachute life saving system 

fuselage all made from carbon fiber

Tilt wings with 4 vectoring nozzles
