Axion: Personal Jet VTOL Aircraft

Discover the Axion, a cutting-edge single-person VTOL aircraft by FusionFlight. Powered by eight micro jet-engines, this diesel-fueled flying car offers versatile takeoff capabilities and rapid reconfiguration for racing, medevac, or heavy-lift missions. The Axion is based on the flight-proven smaller-scale JetQuad.

Key Design Features

Flat Form-Factor

The Axion flying car’s flat geometry minimizes drag, boosting top speed in forward flight. This design optimizes integration for human and cargo payloads. Equipped with two 15-gallon, cross-linked fuel tanks, the Axion ensures efficient fuel management for extended missions.

Enclosed Engines

The Axion’s micro jet engines are fully enclosed within the vehicle body, enhancing long-term engine reliability. This configuration reduces turbine noise, making the flying car quieter and more suitable for diverse operational environments.

Thrust Vectoring

The Axion’s Thrust Vectoring System (TVS) enables versatile takeoff from various surfaces and seamless transitions between hover and forward flight modes. This advanced system ensures smooth, precise control for a superior flying car experience.

“The Axion jet-powered personal VTOL aircraft is fueled by gas-station diesel and fits in a standard parking-spot - a true flying racercar."

Advantages of the Jet-Powered Personal VTOL Aircraft.

  • TOP SPEED AND ACCELERATION

    The most notable advantage of Axion over similarly sized electric-propeller driven aircraft are the top-speed (200mph) and acceleration (0.5G). So when speed and maneuverability are of top importance, nothing beats the Axion transport.

  • FUEL FLEXIBILITY AND REFUEL TIME

    The jet-engines of the Axion consume a variety of heavy-fuels ranging from gas-station Diesel to Biodiesel to Jet-A making it easy to refuel the vehicle almost anywhere in the world. Furthermore, it only takes a few minutes to refill the 30-gallon fuel tank as opposed to the several hours it takes to recharge an electrical aerial transport.

  • ALL-WEATHER AND HIGH-ALTITUDE

    Unlike most electric-propeller aircraft, the jet-engines of the Axion maintain consistent performance in both cold and high-altitude environments. Furthermore, because there are no aerodynamic control surfaces and all control comes directly from the Thrust Vectoring System, the Axion is not as susceptible to inclement weather as other propeller and winged-based vehicles.

  • LANDING FOOTPRINT

    Axion’s compact frame coupled with micro jet-engines makes up a vehicle with a small landing foot-print – half the size of an equivalent propeller driven aircraft. Axion can easily fit in a standard parking spot or the back of a pick-up truck. The fully enclosed Thrust Vectoring System allows the Axion to fly in terrain (between cliffs and trees) that is normally inaccessibly to propeller aircraft (like helicopters).

Safety Features.

  • JET PROTECTION

    During engine ignition and idle operation the thrust vectoring system diverts all exhaust gases to the front and rear of the vehicle. The hot gas does not touch the ground so there is no damage to the take-off surface. Most importantly, this provides the operator with safe and easy access the vehicle from the sides even with the engines at 100% throttle.

  • REDUNDANT ENGINES

    The Axion has a total of eight micro jet-engines arranged in pairs. The vehicle has sufficient power overhead to operate in “limp-mode” with just seven engines. This means that during flight, if any of the eight engines unexpectedly shuts-down, Axion will automatically provide a fully controlled emergency descent.

Jet VTOL Flight Modes.

The Axion "flying racecar" configuration is capable of operating in two distinct operating modes - manual and autonomous. No matter the mode, the flight computer will always ensure that the vehicle operates within its limits.

  • MANUAL MODE

    The manual mode can be also referred to as "Fly-by-Wire". The pilot uses a pair of joysticks to issue high-level inputs such as desired heading, horizontal velocity and vertical velocity. The computer will then interpret these commands and control the vehicle in a responsive but fully safe manner.

  • AUTONOMOUS MODE

    In autonomous mode, the pilot uses an on-board tablet to select a destination on the map. The vehicle will then proceed to generating a trajectory, spooling up the engines and traveling to the destination. This may be also referred to as "passenger" mode as the pilot need only enjoy the ride.

Operating Axion in USA Airspace.

Anybody who purchases the Axion must make sure that it is operated legally in their local Airspace. In the USA, the Axion "flying racecar" production model will be classified under FAA Part 103 Ultralight Category which eliminates the need for a license or a registration number. However, the operator will have to obtain an exemption from the FAA to fly the vehicle with more than 5 gallons of onboard diesel (Axion has a 30-gallon capacity).

Axion Configurations

At its core, Axion is a fully customizable platform. In just hours, transform Axion into multiple configurations, including Medevac and Heavy-Lift Drone, to meet your mission needs.

Axion Medevac Emergency Aerial Evacuation

Axion Medevac

The Axion medevac configuration supports a full-size stretcher, commonly referred to as a rescue basket, ideal for emergency medical evacuations. Designed for rapid response in challenging terrains inaccessible to traditional helicopters, this jet-powered medevac drone includes space for critical life-support equipment, enhancing patient survival during transport.

Axion Heavy Lift Drone Cargo Configuration

Axion Heavy Lift Drone

The Axion heavy lift drone configuration is optimized for autonomous cargo transport, capable of carrying up to 170lb internally or externally. Featuring a flat "pellet-style" top, it accommodates diverse payload shapes and cargo boxes. For extended missions, swap the payload for a large internal fuel tank to enable the "tanker" configuration.
