Workhorse Gets Approved To Test Its Surefly Electric Hybrid Helicopter The workhorse surefly hybrid helicopter recently completed its first untethered flight at a facility on april 30th. the event was witnessed by federal aviation administration officials and follows their approval of the aircraft for further testing in january of this year. After hundreds of tethered flights testing noise, battery and flight controls, it made a free first flight in spring 2018, reaching four feet during 10 seconds.
Workhorse Gets Approved To Test Its Surefly Electric Hybrid Helicopter The first flight of the workhorse (now moog) surefly "electric helicopter" was made on monday, april 30, 2018 at the cincinnati municipal lunken airport in cincinnati, ohio, usa. the flight was a 10 second untethered hover. this was the world's first manned flight of a hybrid electric vtol aircraft.

The aircraft uses a hybrid power approach with a gasoline engine powering electric motors via two generators plus a back up battery. the aircraft also includes a parachute for emergencies. Ohio based company workhorse group captured aircraft fans’ attention when it announced it would be making the world’s first personal hybrid aircraft. The hybrid design is simpler than a pure gasoline drivetrain by eliminating the gearboxes and rotor linkages of a traditional helicopter, while security is higher through two redundant motors.
