What inspired Dr Reza to start the company and the story behind its name is inspiring!
Dr Reza has always wanted to design his own aircraft, based on his personal work travel experiences, a genuine passion for the future of aviation solutions that save “time”, coupled with the determination and a clear vision, led to the initial concept of the VBJ. Pegasus has steadily grown a team of specialists over the years contributing towards its Engineering, Flight Control Systems, Flight Testing and Conceptual Design.
What makes Pegasus Universal Aerospace’s VBJ so different and unique?
It surpasses rotary solution convenience with up to four time more range, four times the speed (true business jet speed) better performance and most importantly, enhanced safety features. One of its most impressive design characteristics – the VBJ can fit onto a helipad, land on unpaved surfaces and on conventional runways. The VBJ can also land on yachts with ease and safety. eVTOL crafts can not land on yachts, ships and moving targets as they rely on fixed GPS co- ordinates.
