The last decade has witnessed large-scale funding from global capital markets into the quest to produce commercially viable, certifiable solutions for the emerging Advanced Air Mobility domain. At present none of these initiatives has produced any commercially viable concepts that are socially acceptable and able to attain certification status from aerospace regulatory bodies. Having become even more complex with the publication of the SC.VTOL certification standard by EASA in mid-2022\.Project 3E-JTO seeks to bring a commercially and socially viable concept that will meet published certifiable standards. By focusing on electrically powering a full-span rotor of a gyrocopter or compound gyrocopter to achieve jump take-off (JTO), these aircraft can carry double the payload/range over multirotor aircraft at only a fraction of the power. JTO will allow the aircraft to take-off vertically but removes the ability to hover.Project 3E-JTO will focus on the integration and testing of the electrical power system using batteries to power a full-span rotor, requiring a small battery pack, inverter and low rpm high torque electric motor. These will be off-the-shelf components used to test the system on a test rig.The project will bring multiple benefits in cost, societal and environmental even when compared to other electric solutions. Such as 50% operating costs compared to conventional propulsion systems, a smaller carbon footprint due to lower power, a smaller battery, and larger aircraft to current VTOL solutions and improved connectivity due to the technology enabling a sensible aircraft solution.

在过去的十年中，全球资本市场获得了大规模的资金，以寻求为新兴的先进空中移动域提供商业可行，可证明的解决方案。目前，这些举措都没有产生任何在社会上可以接受的商业可行概念，并能够从航空航天监管机构获得认证状态。随着EASA在2022年中期的SC.VTOL认证标准的发布变得更加复杂，Project 3E-JTO试图带来商业和社会可行的概念，该概念将符合已发表的可证明的标准。通过专注于为陀螺仪或复合陀螺仪的全跨度转子电动供电，以实现跳跃起飞（JTO），这些飞机只能以一小部分功率携带有效载荷/射程的两倍。 JTO将允许飞机垂直起飞，但可以消除悬停的能力。项目3E-JTO将使用电池使用电池为电动电源系统的集成和测试，为全跨度转子供电，需要一个小电池组，逆变器和低RPM RPM高扭矩电动机。这些将是用于测试系统上测试系统的现成组件。即使与其他电动解决方案相比，该项目也将带来成本，社会和环境的多种收益。与常规推进系统相比，运营成本为50％，由于功率较低而导致的碳足迹较小，电池较小，飞机较大，由于技术实现了明智的飞机解决方案，因此可以改善目前的VTOL解决方案以及改善连接性。
