2 How possible?CarterCopteris a simple fixed-wing aircraft firstRotor added for vertical takeoff & landingRotor RPM greatly reduced for cruiseIt s all about Drag ReductionCarterCopterSlowed Rotor:Theslowingoftherotorallbuteliminat esitscontributiontodragincruiseflightand thusyou s it transition?Seamless Transition fromVertical to Translational Transition: Aircraft accelerates & rotor RPM auto-maticallybegins to slow (no pilot input required).3. Cruise: Rotor continues to slow automatically to the minimum stable RPM with wings providing 90% of the lift. 4. Landing: Rotor RPM auto-maticallyspeeds up as aircraft decelerates for landing. Pilot performs simple flare to arrest the sink rate and perform a zero-roll , involved?Enabling TechnologiesHigh Inertia RotorPermits Jump Takeoffs and Safe EngineOut LandingsTilting Mast ControlsRotor RPM forHigh Cruise EfficiencyHigh Mu Ratio RotorEnables High SpeedForward FlightHigh Aspect RatioWings Optimizedfor Cruise Efficiency High Energy AbsorbingLanding Gear ImprovesLanding SafetyAll CompositeConstruction ReducesWeight whichImproves PerformanceSafety & Efficiency Focus: Carter SR/C technology has demonstrated efficiency 3x better than helicopters Safety features are best-in-class for VTOLs and dramatically better than general aviation results I think we need arevolution in direct operating costs *.
