Hayward, CA, USA -- VTOL AEROSPACE (formerly Elytron Aircraft LLC) is introducing a new line of
UAV products called Converticopters, adding unmanned versions to its manned convertiplanes.
Since its creation in 2013, VTOL AEROSPACE has made extensive use
of flying proof-of-concepts at different scales, going from compact
unmanned test vehicles up to a 28-ft manned prototype.
Putting these test vehicles through their paces, meaning flying them in
real conditions at a runway, has provided invaluable engineering data and
experience, confirming the flight qualities of its patented technology, which
blends the features of a tilt-wing inside a fixed box-wing.
VTOL AEROSPACE is excited to announce the launch of the UAV Converticopter line (CVC), ideal for
several markets that require both VTOL support and also long-endurance flights with the ability to fly in
any type of weather and wind conditions, such as Air Surveillance, Border Patrol, Search & Rescue etc...
It was verified and corroborated through systematic simulations and flight tests, that the production
airframe would benefit from a L/D ratio above 15.0 at loitering speeds, allowing very efficient and extended
flight time.
The company highlights the features of a compact Converticopter version (CVC96) with a wingspan of 8-
ft, allowing loiter flights up to 1.5 hour, only on battery power alone, and beyond 5 hours with an electric
hybrid power plant. Larger payload sizes and longer flight times may be achieved by scaling up the
airframe, and its power source, up to 40 ft in wingspan. Additional CVC models with various wingspans
may be offered by manufacturing partners, who are to subscribe to a manufacturing license agreement.
VTOL AEROSPACE recognizes the need to support new emerging markets with specifically tailored
UAVs, using custom-built payloads, and has created a dedicated sales channel that will be led by newly
appointed Director of Marketing and Sales, Craig Davidenko, a Drone Marketing Industry Veteran.
