The Jefferson Jyrodyne™ is a 210 hp, two passenger aircraft trainer when in VTOL (vertical takeoff and landing) mode.  In STOL or what is considered conventional flight, it is a 4- passenger aircraft with a 600-1000 pound payload. The first prototype is entering its fifth year of  construction after 30 years of design and 15 years of radio-controlled model testing.  The Jefferson Jyrodyne™ is constructed of carbon fiber, aluminum, and fabric.

Jefferson Jyrodynes, Inc. is a Chapter S corporation whose ultimate objective is to build VTOL fire trucks and ambulances. We plan to offer homebuilders kits for a personal aircraft version, along with a hopping airboat version.
