eVTOL / VTOL

6 aircraft

Vertical rate at touchdown

Up to 100fpm

Full marks for the vertical rate at touchdown up to 100 fpm, on the rotorcraft curve; no note for a soft touchdown.

Scoring thresholds.

Roundout applies these to every aircraft in this category, except where an aircraft carries its own G-force curve or tail-strike limit. Scores fall in a straight line between the points, from 0 to 100 for each part; the composite formula is in the scoring methodology.

Vertical rate at touchdown (fpm)The rotorcraft curve, used instead of the fixed-wing descent-rate curve.

100≤ 100fpm

90≤ 156fpm

75≤ 239fpm

55≤ 350fpm

35≤ 461fpm

10≤ 600fpm

G-force at touchdown (g)Roundout's general G-force curve, as this category has none of its own.

100≤ 1.20g

85≤ 1.40g

65≤ 1.60g

40≤ 2.00g

10≤ 3.00g

Approach-speed tolerance: ±15kt

Not part of this category's grade: a touchdown-zone window and a tail-strike check.

The 6 aircraft in it.

Every one of them is held to the curves above. None of them has a Vref, so Roundout sets no approach-speed target for them.
