The newest Junkers is a faithful recreation that mates a 7-cylinder Verner radial engine to the airframe offered last year with a Rotax 912... but a desire for more historical accuracy led to the A50 Heritage.
The Helicycle has gone through a number of owners and iterations but looks to be in good hands with a company that keeps tweaking and improving this unique turbine single-engine, single-seat kit helicopter.

Vertical Aviation’s Brad Clark fills us in on upgrades and plans for this impressive machine.

Production plans are now afoot, the plane is being fine-tuned, and the Carbon Cub UL order book is filling fast...
