My VISION for IGOR

To produce a DIY KIT built Safe, Easy to Build and Fly EVTOL aircraft for commuting, recreation and utility work that's...

  • Capable of carrying 250lb pilot
  • Easy access for larger people (like me)
  • Flight as an unmanned drone(for training etc.) or live pilot
  • Future Upgradable and adaptable to new technology and hardware...
  • 20 Minute recharging capable
  • Weight shift manual mode, stabilize mode, GPS mode and Mission planning Auto  Mode
  • Wing Assist options for extended range flights
  • Compact to fit in any standard garage 
  • Affordable
  • Fun and Exhilarating 

Assembly Using Common Tools

IGOR will be available in 5 KITS for plug and play assembly

Landing Skid Shock Dampening

After several "HARD" landings it became obvious that something was needed to absorb the shock. I designed this system using shock cords from a piper cub and it can absorb a force of 1200lbs to 3900lbs per foot on "Heavy" landings. IGOR is programmed for a "not to exceed" decent rate of 5' per second.

Upper Lifting PODS

These 2 upper pods (right side shown) generate an additional 140lbs of thrust that can be articulated to forward flight to engage the wing assist for extended flight times

FLIGHT CONTROL

Flight stabilization is controlled by a PIXHAWK flight controller with super precise and reliable RTK GPS system with multiple fail safe contingencies.
The upper Lifting PODS are mixed into the controller with a custom RC input modification

TEST STAND

After an unfortunate "uncontrolled landing" I though it best to build a test platform to test fail safe contingencies with out risk of an emergency room visit
  • Low Battery
  • Throttle Loss
  • Minimum Descent Speed
  • Uneven trust loss
  • Auto Land

Stay tuned IGOR is ready for the next step and there will be some exciting news coming in March 2026
