Vision
Mass transportation is finally ready to enter a new era. The existing paradigm in transportation will not satisfy needs nor stimulate opportunities, calling for a system to relieve the safety and congestion problems on our air and highways. More than 98 percent of the U.S. population currently lives less than 30 minutes away from one of 3,400 regional aviation airports. At the same time NASA and FAA are developing tools and technologies to enhance the use of airspace and airports for small aircrafts to solve the challenges of 21st century public transportation.Military and Civil Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) remain the most dynamic segment of the aerospace market in recent years within USA and the world. The current UAV market which is mostly government and military is saturated. With over 50+ UAV manufacturers providing over 150 aircraft designs for predominately military applications it is unrealistic to assume that the VTOL UAV will be given opportunities in this market sector. A must need for more cost effective systems that operate without the crash rate of the past but which also meet operational requirements and acceptable payload requirements.
The AeroCopter's multipurpose air transportation VTOL vehicles meet the commercial and military requirements. It uses revolutionary Counter-Rotating Mono-Tilt-Rotor (MTR)
technology with high aspect ratio Co-Axial Rotor configuraton that will enable on-demand and point-to-point high speed air transportation between suburban and rural
communities served by over 5,400 regional aviation airports and delivery of supplies with unaided " spot " landing capabilities for military missions.The 21st century
VTOL air transportation provides increased functionality, scalability, security, stability and safety over existing Tilt rotor air vehicles.
A historical first, the Aerocopter's MTR VTOL aircraft is targeted to each and any of the air transportation markets: Commercial Personal Air Vehicle (PAV), Military and Civilian Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Very Light Jet (VLJ) and future Flying " Sky Car". To date, there has been no attempt to plan a regularly scheduled "Civilian VTOL Mass Transportation" vehicle nor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) with high speed VTOL capability.
