BAe Dyson Aerojetz

A synergy of efficiency and innovation came the BAe Dyson Aerojetz, a 5 seater private / personal jet.

Design to become the future of private jet by adapting a new technology such as fly by light (fiber optic) flight control system, all composite build, electric powered plane using Lithium Ion battery as fuel and a new propulsion system base on Dyson bladeless fan, the Dyson Air Multiplier.

How it works: Air is drawn in by an energy-efficient, brushless motor. Airflow is then accelerated through an annular aperture, passing over an air foil-shaped ramp, which draws in and channels its direction. This creates and projects powerful, smooth, high velocity airflow.
