Pegasus has steadily grown a team of specialists over the years contributing towards its Engineering, Flight Control Systems, Flight Testing and Conceptual Design.
Pegasus Universal Aerospace’s VBJ is different and unique as it surpasses rotary solution convenience with up to four time more range, four times the speed (true business jet speed) better performance and most importantly, enhanced safety features. One of its most impressive design characteristics – the VBJ can fit onto a helipad, land on unpaved surfaces and on conventional runways. The VBJ can also land on yachts with ease and safety. eVTOL crafts can not land on yachts, ships and moving targets as they rely on fixed GPS co- ordinates.
