DTA JP1 · Personal eVTOL

Hybrid power. Two real hours of flight.

The modern replacement for the two-seater helicopter. Same missions, two full hours of flight at full payload, in a machine that is safer and easier to fly.

Technology & safety

Built to keep flying.

We designed for the worst case first. Then made it beautiful.

8-rotor redundancy

Stays operational with up to four propeller failures, provided each boom keeps one working propeller.

Whole-airframe parachute

A whole-airframe ballistic parachute brings the entire aircraft down under one canopy. It deploys automatically if a boom loses both of its propellers.

Hybrid powertrain

Battery packs plus an onboard range extender that generates electricity in flight. Two full hours with two people on board, and 30 minutes on batteries alone if the range extender stops.

Autopilot-first

The autopilot flies. You decide where. Automatic takeoff, point-to-point flight and landing.

Our story

Taking flight since 1990.

Trikes, wings, gyroplanes: 595+ aircraft built in France and flying in 33+ countries. The JP1 is what comes next.

How redundancy works

One rotor out. Seven keep you flying.

Eight brushless rotors sit across four booms, each boom a stacked propeller pair. Four battery packs each feed rotors at opposite positions on the airframe, so a single pack failure never takes out two rotors on the same side. If a boom loses both of its propellers, the whole-airframe ballistic parachute deploys automatically.

Safety you can reserve today.

Secure your chassis number, on clear terms. One price, $385,000, locked on the day you order.
