The Cora is intended to be an easy method of air travel — with no need for runways or human operators. The aircraft is capable of vertical takeoff and landing, like a helicopter, but once in the air it can fly like an airplane. When the Cora takes off, it uses the 12 vertical rotors, and when it flies it uses the one, primary rotor.
Cora is intended to be self-flown, with human oversight in case manual control is needed.
