    You can see Akıncı's legs flexing when landing with all that payload. Still it has the 450hp engine on it which actually gives 300hp at cruise. There seems to be no word of the elusive 750hp engine yet.

    A cargo VTOL is probably an intermeshing type; that is two rotors up top slightly offset. This is known to have the max lift but poor speed (?). http://ucankaya.com/tr/ucankaya-crh/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermeshing_rotors
