With the implementation of new technologies in the aerospace industry, options for new
types of aircraft are arising. Some types of aircraft were already produced and flying but
made obsolete because of older production technologies, which in turn didn’t make
economic sense at the time. Based on the implementation of technologies such as composite
structures (which are already well established in the ultralight aircraft category) and hybrid
powertrains, an ultralight heli-gyro-plane aircraft is going to be designed. At the beginning,
we presented theoretical starting points to better understand the functioning of such aircraft.
We also presented some existing aircraft, on which the design is based. At the end, the final
design is presented with technical data and a CAD model. Furthermore, the results of the
design are presented with recommendations for further work.
