Viridis, an aircraft that does not need a runway
Viridis presents a modular VTOL aircraft concept for vertical launch, long-endurance flight, and swappable mission payloads.
Field notes
The platform is organized around three linked functions: vertical launch, transition into forward flight, and exchangeable mission modules. The page illustrates these with a not-to-scale vertical-lift diagram, a conceptual flight profile, and aircraft design renders. Several elements remain explicitly provisional: the payload interface configuration is marked “to be confirmed,” while flight photography and field-deployment imagery are listed as forthcoming or reserved.
