The SU XR4-T, a VTOL jet transport concept, is currently in development. This aircraft features a total weight of 1200kg and is capable of vertical takeoff and landing. It boasts a top speed of 450km/h and has a range of 200km with a flytime of 40 minutes. Measuring 5.2m x 5.4m, it is powered by two jetturbofan engines with internal generators that can be rotated, as well as four vertical electro turbofans (D800). The aircraft has a payload capacity of 600kg and employs a full automated computer autopilot system, eliminating the need for human pilots. As a VTOL jet, it is not limited by road infrastructure or terrain and can take off from virtually anywhere. This model also utilizes turbofan engines with generators to charge supercapacitors (or large power accumulators), making it the first real hybrid plane with VTOL capabilities. Special thanks go to Tom Van Ryn for providing the seats.
