AeroCopter is an entrepreneur-research based startup company that is pioneering the third generation of airborne transportation systems. The company has completed a detail design configuration for a commercial two-seat passenger Personal Air Vehicle (PAV) and military/civilian Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) aircraft, utilizing disruptive technologies which consist of an advanced rotary aircraft system: a counter rotating Mono-Tilt-Rotor (electromagnetic rotary frictionless) and co-axial twisted electronic blade control.

This new advanced MTR VTOL aircraft has the Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) capabilities of a helicopter with the horizontal speed and payload of a traditional jet airplane that enable on-demand and point-to-point high speed transportation services for Commercial and Military purposes, while reducing capital and operating expenses.

 

The AeroCopter revolutionary VTOL PAV (Sarus) and VTOL UAV (Kestrel) uses a four-twisted blade, one MTR (ring), a fuselage encircled by the vehicle’s ring and one unified propulsion system that provides a power source during hover and flight modes. During take-off and landing flight operation, the ring lies horizontally and provides downward thrust to enable vertical take-off and landing. The same ring makes it look almost like a UFO.

 

Once the vehicle has reached an altitude of 1,000 feet, the ring rotates gradually to an angle of 87 degrees and locks to propel the aircraft forwards. Sarus aircraft is capable of carrying two to eight passengers and their baggage while Kestrel aircraft is capable of carrying up to 400 lbs of food, supplies and/or weaponry systems.

 

“At AeroCopter, we have completely transformed the rotary aircraft technology into a new and innovative VTOL aircraft that will transform aviation technology in the 21st century in the same manner that the Internet and the World Wide Web (WWW) transformed communications and information flow in the 1990’s,” said Siamak Yassini, AeroCopter founder.
