Design of VTOL Aircraft

This bachelor thesis deals with a conceptual vision of VTOL aircraft design as a possible future mode of transportation. The thesis includes an analysis of currently developed machines in this category as well as a brief technical overview of the aircraft. The aim of the thesis is the design concept of a VTOL aircraft for low emission mass passenger transport. The proposed aircraft has a blended-wing configuration with a capacity of 16 passengers. The environmentally friendly fuel for emission-free operation is hydrogen gas providing a range of over 2000 km. The innovative solution of incorporating a jet propulsion system into the aircraft's construction results in a clean shape with the form of one large wing that gives the aircraft a futuristic aerodynamic appearance. Another interesting solution is the boarding of the aircraft in the form of large doors on the sides of the aircraft, which allows for a reduction in the size and thus drag of the aircraft. The resulting design not only delivers a sleek, futuristically shaped aircraft, but also the way of the vertical take-off and landing together with proposed boarding, may inspire future generations of aircraft
