PEGASUS E PROTOTYPE

The PEGASUS E PROTOTYPE is a dual-mode gyrocopter that functions as the world’s first drivable vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) flying car. This vehicle represents a fusion of aviation and automotive technologies, capable of road travel like a supercar and effortless flight.

Manufacturer Pegasus International developed the Pegasus E after years of methodical research and development. The vehicle is powered by a Pegasus petrol and electric hybrid engine, producing 120 kilowatts. Its design incorporates aircraft grade materials such as 6061 and 7075-T6 aluminum, 4130 chromoly steel tubes, and advanced prep carbon fiber to ensure quality. Unveiled to the Australian public in March 2023, the Pegasus E is currently certified by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) in Australia and is on track for US Airworthiness certification. Its patented technologies allow for vertical takeoff and landing, and in an emergency, the vehicle can autorotate and glide to safety.

A variety of access platforms are utilized for maintenance around this aircraft. These solutions are suitable for accessing critical areas such as the Nose Section (radome, cockpit), Landing Gear, Wing & Engine Pylon (engine, fan, turbine, fuel systems), and the Tail Section (stabilizers, rudder).
