Metro Hop s new electric STOL plane has an advanced new feature that allows it to take off very quickly. The new electric aircraft can get airborne easily from a 25-meter rubber-runway.
The #MetroHop#cargo plane is as quiet as an electric car. Our Active Landing Gear uses a Formula-1 rear wheel that quietly drives the #aircraft to takeoff speed. On landing, the plane relies on powerful carbon/carbon disc brakes to softly decelerate. #SilenceIsGolden#Aviationpic.twitter.com/onUzgRffMd Metro Hop (@metro hop) August 6, 2020
STOL, or Short Takeoff and Landing plane, is the best and practical alternative to VTOL aircraft. Why? Because VTOL uses a huge amount of energy just to take off from the ground.
