Aerocopter Sarus

AeroCopter Inc. is a new venture backed by YAS Ventures LLC and two Entrepreneurs Siamak Yassini and George Syrovy and it is aimed at pioneering the third generation of airborne transportation.

Overview
Five years of research with three universities culminate in AeroCopter’s Sarus and Kestrel, Vertical Takeoff and Landing aircraft utilizing Counter Rotating Co-Axial Twisted Rotor Blades. The Sarus and Kestrel enable on-demand and point-to-point high speed air transportation services: Safe,,Scalable,SATS/Highway in the Sky compatible, Multi-market Opportunities, Sarus: Commercial and Private, Kestrel: Military/Civilian UAV

Technology Breakthrough: Counter-Rotating Mono-Tilt-Rotor (MTR) architecture Unique co-axial rotor configuration, Electronically controlled blade, Unified propulsion system for hover and cruise modes, Frictionless rotary ring utilizing Magnetic Levitation (MAGLEV) technology, Low cost maintenance and high reliability compared with existing Tiltrotor aircraft. Technology Advantages: Inherent stability and safety at all speeds and flight modes, No rotor synchronization, “Flywheel Effect” of stored energy, Thrust circularly distributed far from center of gravity, Less susceptibility to vortex ring states, Reduction in noise and pollution

Personal Air Vehicle (PAV): 2-4 passengers PAV, Very Light Jet – up to 8 passengers, Regional Jet replacement, Air Taxi/Limo Corporate/Executive Jet, SATS and Highway in the Sky compatible Increased passenger comfort and safety – vertical takeoff and landing are smoother, reduced risk of ground/mid-air collision, elimination of airport delays.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV): Multi-mission capabilities, Front Line Delivery System, Exceeds FLDS requirements in range, payload, and speed, Answers the safety problem of Humvees and semi-trucks being easy targets for IEDs If targeted, results in zero casualties, Unmanned Combat Armed Rotorcraft, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Strike/Suppression of Enemy Air Defense, Search and Rescue Civilian applications such as disaster relief, weather tracking, traffic monitoring.
