Oliver Garrow has been working with a convertiplane design concept since 2007, and has flown over 100 \u201csorties\u201d with large scale models to test the concept and demonstrate flight characteristics.<\/p>\n
Reported here in 2010, the aircraft initially looked a bit like an annular-wing configuration with pivoting engines or electric motors for lift and propulsion.\u00a0 Now, in its most current version, it looks a bit more like a box wing design with pivoting propulsion.\u00a0 Oliver\u2019s company has changed its name from Verticopter<\/a> to Elytair<\/a>.\u00a0 As explained in company literature, \u201cElytair, named with the goal to offer Elite<\/strong> personnel Air<\/strong> transportation solutions, will be offered as a design platform through selective licensing agreements, for either manned or unmanned applications.\u201d<\/p>\n
