PLANA

We are approaching an era where civilian vertical take-off and landing aircraft can fly, which has been a long-standing dream of mankind. After the Wright brothers’ first successful powered flight in 1903, the current generations will face the greatest paradigm shift in civil aviation history within a decade. In July 2021, PLANA was established by those who dreamed of leading popularization of short-medium range air travel, and aims to create a new and innovative future mobility ecosystem, focusing on the commercialization of nextgeneration aircraft that everybody can trust. Advanced modules must be organically integrated such as distributed electric propulsion(DEP), high-power/capacity battery and hybrid system integration capability, autonomous flight control and avionics (inclusive of ground control, operation, etc.), low noise propulsor design, shape optimization, ultra-light composite material and processing, and humancentered UI/UX, all of which vast infrastructure should also accommodate. Everything in the world except nature is made by someone's imagination. What PLANA currently imagines is "an electrically powered vertical take-off and landing capable aircraft that allows my family and me to board with confidence". One needs courage to overcome numerous trials and errors as well as a willingness to endure fierce internal and external competition, and one will also have a sense of accomplishment and rewards in the process of business and/or technical growth and success step by step. PLANA has already attracted capital at a globally competitive level with passion for these challenges, and invites top-notch and leading developers from all over the world who want to join the best team.
