Samad’s starling jet aircraft will combine a helicopter’s ability to take off and land from almost anywhere, with the speed and range of a private jet. The starling jet will reduce total travel time by utilising locations that are much closer to the customer’s point of departure and destination, including remote locations.
The e-Starling will be an electric business jet. It is a fixed wing aircraft with a V-tail. Three jet engines are fixed above the wings and tail. The Starling will be able to use vertiports and small landing areas.
