Sting VTOL

Quick Summary
At this time, the Sting VTOL is little more than an artistic concept design; there is scant commercial information that is readily available for this VTOL at this time. The blended wing body design aims to take advantage of greater efficiencies during cruise flight, which would be indicative of the VTOL's tailoring for medium to longer range trips as opposed to many other intracity VTOL use cases.
Stage of Development
Preliminary Design
Technical Details
Aircraft Type: Intercity Winged VTOL
Powerplant: Undisclosed, ducted fan

No specific technical details are available at this time. From the art concepts posted online, it appears that the Sting VTOL would utilize gas turbines that drive the fans in the Blended Wing Body (BWB) of the aircraft.
