Urban vertiport rooftops are surrounded by chaotic wind shear and mechanical building turbulence. Here is how high-bandwidth fly-by-wire controls cancel gusts before passengers feel them.
Forward-facing micro-Doppler lidars measure oncoming wind gusts 20 meters ahead of the aircraft. The fly-by-wire system calculates the precise counter-torque required and fires motor differential thrust exactly as the gust strikes the airframe.
Wind tunnel and rooftop flight trials proved a 72% reduction in vertical and lateral cabin G-jitter, transforming bumpy approaches into smooth, train-like passenger rides.
