PteroDynamics Boosts Transwing eVTOL Program from New Colorado Base
The Transwing eVTOL design features folding wings that will allow the aircraft to operate from a much smaller ground area than similar-sized vehicles.
PteroDynamics is setting up its engineering headquarters in Colorado for its Transwing eVTOL aircraft program, having been approved for job growth incentive tax credits from the state. The company has leased a 9,200-square-foot facility in Colorado Springs that will house its research, development, and production work and will be conducting flight tests locally.
After several years working on multiple VTOL aircraft designs, the start-up is now focusing most of its efforts on its 12-foot wingspan model, which is designed to carry up to 15-pound payloads. Having earlier flight-tested four-foot and six-foot demonstrator models as well, it is now close to finalizing the design of the larger unit.
