Ryse Aero Technologies was founded in 2021 in Mason, Ohio, USA and Mick Kowitz is the President and CEO. The company has a goal of bringing electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft to the market for advanced air mobility (AAM) using advanced artificial intelligence and by using the company’s extensive expertise of eVTOL aircraft, subsystems and flight characteristics. Ryse Aero Technologies plans to bring safe, reliable and affordable eVTOL aircraft to its future customers around the world.
The company plans on making modular aircraft allowing its buyers to have custom designed aircraft based on the needs of the customer. The company is focused on making an aircraft with a purpose, to make a good electric aircraft for jobs which are done better with flight. The first eVTOL aircraft the company has made is the Recon and it will make its debut at the Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo on May 9-10, 2022, taking place in Long Beach, California, USA.
The Recon is a one passenger eVTOL multicopter aircraft with a top speed of 63 mph (101 km/h) and has a range of 25 miles (40 km). The aircraft sports six propellers, six electric motors, an open cockpit and open-framed fuselage. The multicopter is capable of making land-based and water takeoff and landings. This feature will be a big plus for customers as no prepared runways will be needed for flights and landings. Water landings and takeoffs will be very practical on our planet where 71% of the surface is water.
