The Goliath Series limited to not just stunning yacht designs has released another Steve Kozloff design concept - PEGASUS
The Pegasus aircraft is unique in that it can takeoff and land both conventionally and
vertically offering a much wider range of destinations.
The Pegasus has very short field capability in conventional flight mode even with its high
wing loading. The 7,500 lbs of thrust developed from the two 132” propellers offer 1 g+
acceleration. This makes it possible to achieve flying speed within 5 seconds while only
using 400 ft. of runway. Also, landing rollout would be very short due to the full reversing propellers.
Vertical takeoff mode can be very practical in many scenarios. However, in some situations, such as dusty dirt fields, powered snow covered fields, and close proximity of light aircraft; would make vertical landing or takeoff impractical and not appreciated
