Aeros successfully completes test of the Control of Static Heaviness Block
Two Technology.
Los Angeles,
CA,
August 10, 2007
Aeros
announced today that it has successfully performed an initial test of the
Control of Static Heaviness (COSH) Block Two, the critical technology
element of the Dynamic Buoyancy Management System. This is a vital step
in development of the new type of air vehicle, the Aeroscraft, buoyancy
assisted air vehicle.
The COSH is a
key technology element for the Aeroscraft. It is responsible for
controlling the lift of the air vehicle in all stages of air or ground
operations including the ability to off-load payload without taking
on-board ballast.
“This
successful test validates the technology and gives us green light to move
the program ahead with full speed. This is a major milestone in the
Aeroscraft’s development,” said Igor Pasternak, Aeros’ President and CEO.
The Aeroscraft is
the buoyancy assisted air vehicle with rigid hull structure and gas cells.
The latest Aeros proprietary technologies including Full Authority Direct
Organic Lift Control (FADOLC), dynamic buoyancy management system,
innovative structure design, and low speed control capability have
resulted in generation of the fourth type of air vehicle. The exceptional
features of Aeroscraft, such as vertical takeoff and landing, capability
to hover for extended periods of time, independence from airport
facilities, all‑weather operations and superb safety characteristics
demonstrate its unique place in the market.
The Aeros
ML866 is the first development model of the Aeroscraft family.
