- The Yron Now Has A 124 Horsepower Electric Motor
Luminati Aerospace brought the latest iteration of their gyroplane to Oshkosh 2021. The company has been busy, setting records with their solar-powered, perpetual flight airplane and developing their all-electric rotorcraft systems. With Gyrodyne’s plans for the QH50, they now have a small portfolio of small gyro projects in the mix. Their Yron now has their 124 horsepower electric motor, capable of almost an hour of hover time.
Their displayed gyro showed off their proprietary, custom nacelles, which grant the 260 pound aircraft a sporty 340 pounds of thrust. Its hot rod performance allows the gyrocopter to hit a top speed of 208 knots, one of the fastest of its type. Plans to offer a production version of the aircraft are in the works, with a target price around $160,000.

Mr Bean’s nephew walks into shot for comedic effect! Unreal 😂. Can’t wait for the world of gyros to reignite and evolve with electric propulsion… awesome!
Gyroplane technology is very promising but unfortunately little used today....I believe the reason is because many people do not know the advantages of this technology compared to the helicopter.
I am actually planning on starting a company that builds electric gyros for inter-city communes. I figured this is way more efficient than electric quads.
Awesome! 👍
Amazing information and I look forward to learning more....
Amazing... Looking into your company now. Looking forward to your products!
I had wondered what happened to the jump Gyroplane and the others that have disappeared now I know they are in good hands ! Wish I could work for Dan Preston's companies...
Blimey 👍🏼🚀
Interesting. Thanks.
Are there any videos anywhere of this gyrocopter in flight???
Wow!
It is really a nice rider bro I wish to have this one , because of his simplicity and low mantener
Of course a clueless dude in socks and sandals would walk up completely unaware of an interview. He’s probably a retired millionaire.
That was the best part.
I loved ❤❤
I Love Ducted Fan very very Nice !
Wow is very nice
Yes
I am going to try to follow Dan's companies developments . Achievers like Dan should have on line credit type courses for others to learn from , for a skilled labor and future technologist pool to chose from to further develop his company ...
Why the line of the vector of thrust is to high from the ground, when the ducted fans are to small? It seems the line of the vector of thrust is much higher than the center of mass, but could be in the same place.
I knew it was a matter of time before ducted fans started popping up
I am thinking about the sleek designs that could go with that..
If a battery powered jump start system did become available that would re ignite the gyro world.
I agree 100% .
I love ducted fan,it has more big grip to the air than conventional props.
Errr... not really, it limits the radius of the propellor blades.... it is more efficient for a given radius but that the has to be optemised for the airspeed/power available equation. If this worked in the speed range of light aircraft we would see many more . It is a sexy look though.
Right. I would like to ask this guy or his engineers some technical questions. If they can answer them I will "consider" his claims further but right now they are sounding quite out there and not adding up as an engineer (and happen to be the CTO of a production gyroplane company in the US with actual modern 2 seat gyroplanes flying in US airspace). I'd like to ask Dick Degraw if he is really truly on this team next time I get to see him
Yes Abid, I agree with your skepticism regarding his claims. Seems to be talking CarterCopter technology regarding his high speed craft.
Interestingly, I'm somewhat bemused of his choice of using a "Nano" gyrocopter as a test bed for his battery ducted fan technology.
The thrust potential seems to be relevant to performance, yet in an 'engine out' situation the drag factor with the engines hanging out on their outriggers, would be much more multiplied and apparent when pitching the nose downwards to maintain a positive control airspeed. The rotor disc loading would certainly be tested in a vertical descent sink rate, perhaps more than what is the 'acceptable norm' in flight dynamics.
Still though, innovations are still being researched and tried. Harks back to the golden age of aviation during the 1940s - 60s, when rapid concept-to-use technology occurred.
You should see the other comment I posted. I honestly just can’t get over how absolutely absurd these numbers he’s throwing are. The aircraft weighs 260 lbs and has enough battery and powerful enough motors for a 1 hour hover and 208 knot top speed. That rotor mast would have an absurd amount of drag. He also claims the are proprietary ducted fans….but are just off the shelf vasyfan 390’s!
I am working with wildlife biologists to train a flock of ducks to carry me into the air in lightweight hammock. Trying to get permission for test flights from the FAA, but they don’t answer my emails!
@Lets go U tube The Demozombie Plague must me resolved.
That sounds quackers ....
So, where does the lift come from after 130kts? If not from the rotor, them where?
Design of the craft and stub wings.
@@raydreamer7566 There is no stub wing on this gyro.
All is well all be well blessings
It was just getting interesting and he ended it.
200plus KTS?
No lift required from the rotor? What keeps it up?
Same question popped in my head. No substantial lifting surfaces. Those wings are minuscule. The whole video is filled with outlandish claims.
I will have one with a ballast parachute, please. Thank you.
Parachutes are almost never implemented in gyroplanes, and it's easy to push the stick forward until the rotor stops providing lift. If the gyro rolls over you're dead.
It's a gyro ie the main rotor free spinning IS your parachute.
Guys, guys, please. Duan wants training wheels on the tricycle gear, a GPS to read the compass for him and a stereo to play "Danger Zone". Is that too much to ask?
whats the aircraft at 2:43 , more info please.
"at 130kts we need no lift from the rotor"
Levitation keeps it up then?
Surely, that stubby wing has magical powers... kinda skeptical, especially when he mentions Suckerberg's money. Wishing them much success. Looks like fun for someone braver than me. From my experience 2 things fall out of the sky, bird crap and dumb crap. Fly safe always, or dig deep, once.
At some forward speed the air sees the rotating blades as a round wing and produces lift. See translational lift.
@@raymondtolhurst7994 "air sees the rotating blades as a round wing and produces lift"... therefore lift is generated which is the opposite to "no lift"
@@TM-529 I think he meant no active motor driven rotor force to generate lift, at a certain point in horizontal flight the gyro blade free spins, that's how it goes you know?
@@Veldtian1 It doesn't sound like you do. He is talking about slowing the rotor (like a Carter Copter) so the tip speeds are slower, allowing for a faster aircraft. Tip speeds are always the issue in rotorcraft. So by slowing them, you reduce this drag. Now on the Carter copter they slowed the rotor AND hand wings, so at speed the rotor was just along for the ride and the wings produced the lift. He is claiming slowed rotor, yet no wings
It is converted Fusioncopter jk2 nano.
Thanks!
He said 54 min hover time ... and then that became 2 odd hours.... but didn't mention 140 kph aint a hover.... colour me skeptical.
Amazing aircraft but those wheels look like they are from my 1980's grifter bicycle
Guys, how join with you to work there?,
Definitely keep this company on stand-by once an IPO comes out
I would love to see something like this but with folding fabric wings or something else more fixed.
You
Luminati that means what it means
That little gyro does not have Dick DeGrow's rotor head.
JK2 nano with electric conversion
did he say at over 130 kts, it needs no lift from the rotor? If there's no lift from the rotor, how does it stay in the air? sounds like BS to me
Um does it have safety 🤔.?
He lost me at the electric plane with that small of a wing area claiming it never has to land. Almost all of his claims are questionable. Acquiring companies, receiving payouts and licensing technologies does not show engineering competence. The exhaust speed of those vasyfan 390’s is max 80m/s (178 mph) as stated on the website. The 200+ knot claim is simply impossible.
And this is your expert finding or just opinion? Do you think Zuckerburg or any other billionaire would be willing to front you $48m based on your claim?
So 200+ would take a small dive. Still possible, maybe just not at level.
@@BobHarvey. One word: Theranos.
Разнесенные движители на гироплане , это не очень грамотное решение . Возможно в процессе горизонтального полета , это не столь опасно . Но при взлете , это трагично .
Hello, do you have more information regarding the danger of ducted fan propellers on takeoff?
@RunesLegacy yeah sounds like a lot of BS......"We can slow the rotors down to minimum drag configuration" that would be locked axially front to back? so you would need to re-engage them below 130 Knots to initiate a landing wow what a stress load on the entire air frame. Also "over 130Knots we don't need the lift from the rotors" what is providing your lift those simply tiny winglets coming off the rear of the cabin? Most gyros are restricted to max speeds of around 90 Knots primarily because of the assymmetrical lift in the advancing and retreating blades as well ass speed induced oscillation -bring on the videos of proof and I will be a convert- until then a sceptic.
Their symbolism will be their downfall. 🐸
" GOING FORWARD " LOL , YA CAINT GO BACKWARDS, REPORTER GUY
vaporware
Org indo jgn niru, klau bisa trbng beneran gk di izini trbang tinggi
