Sub-$40,000 personal eVTOL could be in buyers' hands later this year
Unveiled this week at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, the Rictor X4 is a single-passenger eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) aircraft driven by eight motor/propeller units mounted on four arms. Those carbon fiber arms and 63-inch (160-cm) props fold in when not in use, allowing the X4 to be transported in the back of a pickup truck.
Not only can the aircraft take off and land vertically like a helicopter, it can also fly forward at a top speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).
That said, it's limited to a flight time of 20 minutes per battery-charge and a 100-kg (220.5-lb) payload capacity, including pilot. According to Rictor's parent company Kuickwheel Technology, it's designed for "light aerial mobility." Essentially, it's a commuter.
