Meet the Acro eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing), a stunning electric flying vehicle that takes personal flight to the next level. This unique concept combines an innovative propulsion system with an AI-assisted aerobatic mode for the ultimate 3D experience in the sky.
The highly prestigious Monaco Yacht Show is where everyone expects to see the most exciting, luxurious, and unaffordable superyachts. This year's edition also brought something that most attendees probably did not expect – a dazzling alternative to the private choppers that land on superyacht helipads. This personal eVTOL concept was specifically created for the yachting world.
Air taxis are closer than ever to becoming an everyday reality. They'll start as air shuttles but soon include the highly-anticipated flying cars for personal use. It's only natural to envision them as alternatives to the luxurious superyacht helicopters as well. Picture landing onboard your yacht in a futuristic-looking flying machine where you're the only one in charge.
The Acro eVTOL concept promises even more. This electric aircraft is the only one of its kind with a built-in aerobatic function. What could be more fun?
Officially an ultralight recreational aircraft, Acro blends innovative design features with cycloidal rotor technology. If it sounds familiar, that's because it's the same technology developed by the Austrian company CycloRotor for its own design, the CruiseUp. These types of rotors enable full 360-degree thrust vectoring, which is part of what makes Acro so special.
This thing doesn't need a conventional helipad and claims to be unbothered by harsh sea or weather conditions when it comes to landing on superyachts. It comes with dual joysticks and dual side-screens integrated into a tilting canopy for excellent visibility. Access is done easily and smoothly through the front, while the dock-in charging system is integrated at the bottom.
The most exciting thing about Acro is what its designer calls "full 3D aerobatic maneuverability," with three flight modes, including angle mode, horizon mode, and acro mode (which is AI-assisted). In other words, this one-seater should be incredibly fun to pilot – the perfect companion to a superyacht for the most luxurious adventures at sea.
In terms of safety, Acro includes a built-in structural harness for the pilot and an emergency ballistic parachute. Most importantly, its propulsion system, based on the CycloTech CR-60 cyclorotor, means that the aircraft can still hover and land safely even with two engine losses at the same time.
The creator of this ultra-fun eVTOL for yachting is none other than Emmanuel Klissarov, who was a senior exterior designer at Mercedes-Benz until not so long ago. With an extensive background in automotive design and a personal passion for adventure (he traveled through Europe in a van with his family), Klissarov was the perfect man to come up with this innovative concept.
Hopefully, by next year's Monaco Yacht Show, we'll actually see this unique aerobatic private eVTOL in action.
