# INVO Station
> Your affordable, safe, autonomous personal eVTOL — as simple to use as a car.
INVO Station builds an autonomous personal eVTOL aircraft. The airframe is 16 feet in diameter and 2.20 m tall: two cones meeting at a sharp rim with a dome at each end, a shape taken from Leonardo da Vinci's Armoured Car of 1485. 12 ducted lift motors sit under the upper cone and it holds altitude on any 4 of them. There are no exposed rotors or wings.
