HOME DESIGN DESCRIPTION NEWS GALLERY CONTACTS	Lucy THM is a new type of micro aircraft designed to provide unprecedented personal mobility. Key flight performance characteristics are: ultra short take off and landing (with a run of less than 15 meters and very steep climbing and approaching paths); rapid reach of high altitude; dragster-like acceleration; manoeuvrability and control at flight speeds near zero. These characteristics are made possible by combining a thrust greater than the weight of the aircraft with a compact and innovative aerodynamic architecture that fits in the airstream of a propeller with a very large diameter. A new concept of ergonomics completely integrates the pilot with the aerial vehicle. The pilot, in fact, is seated inside an anthropomorphous fairing in a motorcycle-like posture and he wraps himself around the structure which is then perceived as a physical extension of himself: a “technological suit” worn to get yourself about in the air. The sensation is that of manoeuvring the controls to move yourself through the air and not, as usually happens, to move the plane. The unique characteristics of Lucy THM mean that it can be used for countless applications in the military, paramilitary and civilian sectors: personnel transportation, reconnaissance and surveillance, blitzes by police and special units of the armed forces, search and rescue, coast guard patrol, border patrol, traffic control, pipeline surveillance, industrial areas security, agriculture, observation of herds, crop-spraying, civil protection, forest safeguard, delivery of medical personnel and medicines in isolated areas, sports flying. Further applications can be developed.
