Lead this aircraft design and manufacturing company that developed the patented Transwing® vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft design that folds its wings uniquely along a dihedral angle during flight to transition between rotorcraft and fixed-wing configurations. Our Transwing design has key advantages over other VTOL aircraft designs, especially a smaller operating ground footprint, faster nominal cruise speeds, greater payload weight fraction capability, longer range and endurance, and greater wind resistance in its takeoff and landing configuration. If you've never seen our Transwing aircraft, I guarantee you've never seen anything like it (PteroDynamics.com).
