The "eQO Limo" is an eVTOL vehicle planned to be part of the next generation of green urban transportation, powered by electric engines and renewable energy. Capable of transporting up to 8 passengers and 1 crew member (pilot) over routes of 600 km/372.8 miles with a maximum speed of 470kph/292mph and a cruise speed of 400kph/248.5mph.
Equipped with six electric rotors in the front, four electric axial flux motors in the middle, and two large electric engines at the rear. All of them, when combined, could take off and land in vertical mode VTOL and short mode STOL, as well as hover (float above) and fly like an airplane.
Capable of generating a portion of its own energy due to the presence of two aerogenerators on the top of the "eQO Limo" and a roof constructed of variable translucency glass with quantum dots (QDSC) for solar energy collection. These components may generate enough power to increase the operational flight distance or flight time.
The "eQO Limo" could fly as a helicopter or an airplane, however flying as a helicopter might shorten the operational time and distance traveled. Two canards would be put on the front of this aircraft to help steady the flight in airplane mode.
Another intriguing feature of this aircraft is the ability to fold some of its sections to reduce its size, allowing it to be stored inside a tiny hangar on a yacht or carried, for example, in an airplane.
With the proper kit, the "eQO Limo" may be a multipurpose aircraft. It may transform into a rescue, police, or ambulance aircraft.
One of the most notable features of this eVTOL could be the use of electric axial flux motors capable of producing high torque/weight and located on both sides of the aircraft, as well as the generation of powered propulsion to move the aircraft forward and assist it in takeoff and landing maneuvers via air pressure chambers and a duct system capable of redirecting exhaust air flow.
