Key FeaturesTop of Page

Some key featues:
  • No or low emissions
  • Low vibration
  • Low noise
  • Vertical takeoff and landing
  • Unsurpassed station keeping
These vehicles also provide means of delivering material as well as personnel anywhere in the world without the need to build ecologically damaging road or airstrips. With the use of renewable fuels such as solar and fuel cells, these vehicles produce very little or no polution.  Rising fossil fuel prices also help make these vehicles important alternatives to traditional transportation.


Heavy Lift VehiclesTop of Page

One of three areas the company is currently investing in and seeking investors for is:

Heavy Lift and Long Distance Cargo Vehicle:

These vehicles can be used for trans-continental and trans-oceanic freight and cargo.  They permit transport of most products almost anywhere in the world without the need for infrastructure at either terminal or in between.  The vehicles can travel safely and quickly at very low cost.  The large cargo hold allows for quick and easy configuration and permit manufacturers to design and build large industrial equipment without shipping constraints.  Road weight and bridges are not a concern, nor is dimensions – the cargo area is over two acres with the maximum size of 50 x 8 x 8 meters.
