Bartini, Inc.

Bartini, Inc. is an aviation engineering company. It develops an electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft, called an eVTOL, for private use and urban air taxi service. The site lists offices in Stockholm, Sweden, Limassol, Cyprus, and Cupertino, California.

The design uses coaxial counter rotating blades in a duct. The site says this layout gives lower drag and higher thrust. It also says the ducts and redundant systems support safety, and that the design allows considerable noise control.

The site says the aircraft can use hydrogen fuel cells or lithium batteries. A hydrogen version is said to fly up to 550 km over almost two hours. A lithium battery version is said to range 150 km on 30 minutes of flight.

The site gives specifications. The aircraft seats two to four people. It is designed to cruise at 300 km per hour, or 162 knots. It operates at about 1,000 m above the surface, with a listed altitude of 3,500 m. Endurance is 120 minutes with fuel cells, or 30 minutes with lithium batteries.

The site says the team includes certified aviation engineers with experience making and certifying passenger jets. It says the work combines aircraft engineering with automotive and mobility design, urban planning, air traffic management and ground infrastructure.

The site has press, about, and careers sections. It also has a full specification page. Contact details are listed on the site.
