Vertex Recreational Vehicle Is More Fuel-Efficient than a Plane & Faster than a Boat

Vertex Recreational Vehicle Is More Fuel-Efficient than a Plane & Faster than a Boat

Based on patented, award-winning Vertex Lift System technology, the vehicle will also allow vertical take-off and the ability to explore locations that are beyond the range of a speedboat. The Vertex Recreational Vehicle will fly with the help of Exclin`s patented Vertex Lift System, that ensures control and stability regardless of vehicle speed. The Golden Bridge Awards Gold Winner at Energy Industry Innovations in the US in 2017, the system takes conventional WIG technology and adds "lift thrust" technology allowing Vertex to take off vertically from a ground surface while still offering the flexibility of conventional take-off and landing on ground or water. When the vehicle is in ground-effect mode - flying a few metres from the water surface - the lift system is designed to respond dynamically to changes in conditions such as gusts of wind, to give the vehicle extra stability and control.   The pilots will be able to fly a high-speed craft within metres of the water`s surface. Vertex Recreational Vehicle will boast the high speed of up to 150kph, will be easy to operate and will require limited training compared to an aircraft. The craft is perfect for luxury seaside hotels or resort villas in regions such as the Bahamas, Fiji, Greece and the Maldives. To meet the specific needs of recreational pilots, it will be possible to separate the main wing from the body, in order to tow the Vertex Recreational Vehicle with a car.Our patented solution, the Vertex Lift System, helped meet these criteria by adding a "lift thrust" capability to the vehicle.   Fonte: Lux Exposé
