AeroVehicles Inc. ("AVI") was formed to develop the technology originated by a group of engineers working in Santa Maria, California.
This group of engineers designed a new aircraft so unique it is unlike anything previously existing. The aircraft possesses the characteristics of carrying heavy loads, taking off and landing from virtually any relatively flat surface (eliminating the need for paved runways) and the cost for developing this aircraft is a fraction of the cost of a conventional airplane.

The technology supporting this aircraft is sound; in fact, the fundamentals were patented in the past, but the patents have expired. Furthermore, four demonstrators have been built and flown many times. The latest is 120-feet long and capable of carrying two pilots.

Because of the unique properties of this aircraft, its end use will be delivering disaster and humanitarian aid supplies, search and rescue, mobile hospital, combating wildfires, and cargo to remote or environmentally sensitive locations.

This is a new aircraft design with an endurance that can be measured in days, capable of landing or taking off with large heavy payloads from anywhere, whether it is from remote fields, deserts, marshes, harbors or waterways. Considering the development time and cost of this vehicle to be a fraction of what it takes to develop a traditional new aircraft, AeroCat will revolutionize aerospace history.

The Product - An Hybrid Aircraft
A hybrid aircraft combines the advantages of aerodynamic lift from its lifting body hull shape (like an airplane) and the efficiencies of lighter-than--air derived from the buoyancy of the helium-filled envelope (like an airship or blimp). Forty percent (40) of the hybrid aircraft's lift is generated from aerodynamics and sixty (60) percent from helium buoyancy. When fully loaded the aircraft is heavier than air and operates much like an airplane.

A very important and useful feature of AeroCat is the air cushion landing system ("ACLS") (like a hovercraft) instead of conventional aircraft landing gear. This enables the aircraft to land and takeoff from virtually any reasonably flat surface. When landing on a solid surface, reversing the ACLS engines creates a suction that facilitates loading and unloading and eliminates the need for ground crews or elaborate tie downs. The widely spaced dual ACLS pontoons (like a catamaran) provide stability while on the ground and for taking off and landing.

Thanks for your comments!

This is what John L. Gallion was depicting in his novel "Twist of Fate". A world where airships are used in very critical situations. Well done video!
