Jaunt Air Mobility LLC is developing an all-electric Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) aircraft suitable for Urban Air Mobility (UAM) and On-Demand Mobility (ODM) markets. Salient features of Jaunt include the quietest, safest, and most efficient hovering and cruise flight air vehicle than any other configuration suitable for UAM missions. Jaunt represents a Reduced Rotor Operating Speed Aircraft (ROSA™) with core technologies proven in over 250 hours of successful demonstration flights. Jaunt represents the metamorphosis of the best features available from helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes. ROSA™ technologies offers several innovative features that significantly reduce total noise. These include all-electric powertrain, 75 percent reduction in main rotor tip speed from hover to cruise flight, scimitar design propellers offering a 60% speed reduction from hover to cruise flight, and a tilting mast which provides efficient management of the resulting thrust vector. Jaunt represents flight-proven aircraft technologies that are superior to existing helicopters which are the gold standard in efficient Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) aircraft.
