Falx Air Vehicles are planning to use hybrid-electric motor and inbuilt solar arrays rather than fuel and to revolutionize the aircraft market.

Falx is based in the United Kingdom and combines the talents of designers that are specialists in design and environmentally friendly systems for the mass market.

Falx has showed the full-size prototype at the Farnsworth air show.

The prototype is a a compact single and double-seater tilt-rotor aircraft which targeted only use 10 liters of fuel per hour airborne.

The prototype uses aerospace-certified composite materials. The single seater weighs in at only 350kg, with the twin-seat version weighing 405kg.

Using both hybrid electric propulsion, ergonomic design and modern materials, Falx is able to realise the dream of small vertical take-off and landing air vehicles.

The quiet electric operation should make these small, light and manoeverable aircrafts ideal for military use. Of course they can be used bi civilians also.

With these vehicles Falx wants to open a new era in aviation design and functionality.

There is a question: Falx Air Vehicles can be the future of transportation in few decades? Instead of buying a car buying a small flying vehicle.
