Aerovel Corporation

Description

• Aerovel Corporation, led by Dr. Tad McGeer, develops the Flexrotor unmanned aerial system (UAS) from its base in Washington States Columbia Gorge. The company is small, focused, and experienced; staffed by veterans who developed the Aerosonde and ScanEagle aircraft series. The Aerovel team has over a century of unparalleled industry experience.The cutting-edge Flexrotor is designed to operate over oceans and remote areas while sending high-quality imagery to its control station. Because Flexrotor is a VTOL (vertical take off and landing) aircraft, it can be based anywhere that has a 20 by 20 area clear of obstructions. It is designed for use on icebreakers, large fishing vessels, Coast Guard vessels, Navy ships, cruise ships and large private yachts. A one-of-a-kind fixed-wing aircraft, Flexrotor requires no runway and no launch and retrieval equipment.Easily stowed in a 2m (6ft) handling box, Flexrotor quickly assembles for flight. It can be rapidly re-stowed in its assembly box for safe handling and compact storage.The current Mark 1 Flexrotor aircraft has over 15 hrs endurance at 45kt cruise speed. The forthcoming Mark 2 Flexrotor aircraft will offer 40 hrs endurance. Maximum weight is less than 22 kg/50 lb.A steerable, zoomable imaging turret performs search and target tracking with a daylight or infrared camera. The standard-definition video can be downlinked to a 2m (6ft) antenna over as much as 100km, and more compact antennas can be used where less video range is required.Video imagery can be viewed in real-time, and/or in subsequent review, on networked displays and Wi-Fi devices, even smartphones. If desired, multiple aircraft can be managed from a single operator station so that several sectors can be monitored simultaneously.The unprecedented range, endurance, economy, basing flexibility, small size and ease-of-use of Flexrotor provides operators with a powerful reconnaissance capability.
