"The Shape of Things to Come"

We are now pleased to announce the build-out of our prototype Rotor-Plane. Ongoing testing and development has been taking place in the background over the past 10 years and our Tractor Rotorcraft design is now finalized as a STOL Hybrid Cargo Aircraft. Unique to the industry, this aircraft is a blend of the best of the fixed wing and autogyro worlds and is optimized to carry payload, for search and rescue, and survey work. The initial prototype is being built to Sport Pilot specs. and will still carry 400 lbs. of payload flown solo and about 200lbs. with passenger. Stay tuned for future website updates.

New Rotor-Plane Design:

- Tractor Layout with full flying tail to optimize flight stability/pilot transition.

- Proven Raven® 1300SVX 115HP Turbo Geo®/Suzuki® Engine Package

- Lifting Body and Low Aspect Ratio Rib-less Wings for maximum cargo capacity- a 4' x 8' 40+ cu. ft. cargo bay.

- Super STOL wing and powerful Pre-Rotator to optimize short field capability.

- Protective heated cabin with option for sleeping two.

- The Safety of Gyro Autorotation coupled with the cross county speed of a Fixed Wing.

- Pioneering our Pre-Painted Aluminum Laminate Construction for quick build time.

- Tundra Tires with Trailing Link Torsional Suspension for rough field performance.
