AirScooter Corporation Reports Progress on Its Electric E70 and Gas Powered G70 Unmanned Air Vehicles.LAS VEGAS Las Vegas (läs vā`gəs), city (1990 pop. 258,295), seat of Clark co., S Nev.; inc. 1911. It is the largest city in Nevada and the center of one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the United States. -- AirScooter Corporation (OTC OTC See: Over-the-counter. OTC See over-the-counter market (OTC). :ASCO ASCO American Society of Clinical Oncology ASCO Association of Schools and Colleges of Optometry (since 1941; Rockville, Maryland) ASCO Australian Standard Classification of Occupations ASCO Automatic Switch Company ), an innovator of new air vehicle concepts, announced that it has completed an electric powered AirScooter(TM) UAV UAV Unmanned Aerial Vehicle UAV Unmanned Air Vehicle UAV Unmanned Aerospace Vehicle UAV Unmanned Airborne Vehicle UAV Uninhabited Air Vehicle UAV Urban Assault Vehicle UAV Unpiloted Aerial Vehicle (less common) prototype for flight testing. The electric E70 is based on the company's high-performance gasoline engine gasoline engine: see internal-combustion engine. gasoline engine Most widely used form of internal-combustion engine, found in most automobiles and many other vehicles. G70 platform. After the G70 prototype met rigorous flight requirements, five new AirScooter G70s have been assembled using a more powerful engine to increase payload and are being prepped for flight testing and sale. AirScooter UAVs are in the tactical VTOL VTOL n. A convertiplane that can take off and land vertically. [v(ertical) t(ake)o(ff and) l(anding).] VTOL vertical takeoff and landing (Vertical Takeoff and Landing Vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) A flight technique in which an aircraft rises directly into the air and settles vertically onto the ground. Such aircraft do not need runways but can operate from a small pad or, in some cases, from an unprepared site. ) class, positioned smartly between the high-end hobby category and the limited selection of expensive military/commercial UAVs available today. Easily transportable, these robust craft are ideally suited for aerial photography, surveillance, research and a range of possible homeland security applications. AirScooter unmanned aerial vehicles
The G70 is powered by a modern 7.5 hp twin engine, weighs about 32 pounds, with a payload of 10 pounds plus and flight duration of about 45 minutes. The E70 employs a battery powered high-end (1500 watts continuous -- 3500 watts maximum) cobalt motor, weighs approximately 30 pounds with batteries, has an estimated payload of 5 pounds or more and flight duration of about 8-15 minutes. With no commercial speed controller available to meet the demanding power requirements of the E70, the company sponsored production of a proprietary custom speed controller resulting in one of the largest electric powered VTOL air vehicles to be commercially available. More complete specifications, subject to change as more flight and performance data is obtained, are on our web site at www.airscooter.net. "Gene Rock, chief UAV engineer, designed AirScooter UAVs to be easily remotely guided or automated by any number of third party computerized flight systems," said Dwaine Barnes, president of AirScooter Corporation. "We employ computerized engineering in our air vehicle designs allowing more rapid transition from prototype to automated production techniques and making it easier to accommodate a customer's particular requirements." Barnes added, "We are excited about the early product response and look forward to showing more customers the capabilities and advantages of our coaxial control system. We are seeing interest from commercial and government sectors of the market, domestically and overseas. Whether the requirement is for quiet electric performance or long duration gasoline powered flight, we provide a compelling solution for customers dissatisfied with the limitations of high-end hobby craft, but unable to justify the high costs of commercial/military UAVs, often costing $100,000 to $500,000 or more."
