AirScooter II

Going back to the future of rotor craft design is the basic concept of the AirScooter VTOL (Vertical Take Off and Landing) vehicle by AirScooter Corporation of Henderson, Nevada. "The original Sikorsky rotorcraft helicopter concept was based on a coaxial design much like the AirScooter," says Woody Norris; internationally recognized inventor and AirScooter Corporation co-founder, "what we've done is package the coaxial design in a modern light-weight craft that allows for intuitive control and incredible maneuverability."

By eliminating the need and complexity of swashplates, collective and cyclic control through a coaxial rotor design a number of benefits beyond conventional helicopter designs are immediately realized. First; enhanced, intuitive flight controls are achieved by simple motorcycle-style handlebars and the absence of a tail rotor. To gain altitude, simply throttle up like you would on a motorcycle, turn left or right on the handlebars for craft rotation and move the handlebar assembly as a joystick for directional control (including reverse). No pedal controls are necessary, which means someone without the use of their legs can just as easily fly the AirScooter. Handlebar controls represent the most distinguishable feature of the AirScooter. AirScooter's patented design also provides an amazing level of stability while in the air and during flight.

In addition to intuitive and greatly simplified flight control, perhaps the AirScooter's greatest design feature, is that it falls into the ultralight weight class; requiring no pilot's license. Weight has long been the greatest obstacle to a successful ultralight coaxial design and AirScooter has overcome this obstacle by using superior design elements and space-age composite materials.

Unlike most recreational aircraft, the AirScooter is not a kit. The AirScooter will come completely assembled except for installation of the rotor blades and will include the added feature of extremely durable pneumatic floats instead of traditional helicopter skids. This feature further adds to the versatility of the AirScooter to get you wherever you want to go on land or swamp while providing a softer landing.

1. What is Max. Flight time by one time of flight?
2. What is the price?
3. What is Engine horse power?
4. Is it easy to learn to flight?

This helicopter its not on the market,you dont can buy.
We have ready one small coaxial helicopter project.
thanks

Hi,lives in USA. Who can you fly this AirScrooter. It's OK
In city or have to be outside of the cities?

Dracomenda, e-mail, 19.11.2011reply

1) this copter will not kill you so long as you take the time to learn it
2) any helo with a blade radius of 4 feet will auto rotate and slow down the helo
3) anyone looking for a real helo has money to blow so go suck on something
4) not everyone can afford a pilots license
and last but not least
5) keep your half cocked opinions to yourself if you don't like it don't buy it

1- self taught = quick crash, non standard controls
2 - Autorotation needs a collective pitch system - this has none, an RC helicopter has a better chance in an auto
3 - You have no helo or cash - sucks to be you
4 - certificate or not training is #1 for survival - Fools R us?
5- you "faggot" is a half cock, and a full on Dickhead...

2011 are you even alive? Bet you choked on a dick...

Harsh? Fuck no 46 years around helicopters -
fly, fix, build, design - you? Suck wind
And Eat a big bag of salty dicks...

I would very much like all info on this craft including pricing and how to get it thanks.

Don Hillberg, e-mail, 20.01.2012reply

THIS MACHINE WILL KILL YOU if you,
1 Hover over effective ground effect.
2 trsnsition into forward flight & suffer power failure /reduced power
3 has limited yaw authority & yaw reversal
4 When I saw the video it had no sign of an effective sprag clutch = NO AUTOROTATION
5 non standard controls = teach? with what? two seaters are EXPERIMENTAL = Require a certified pilot
6 drive sheve over head = ugle mess when you have a sudden stoppage or impact, Like skid marks on your head?
Dracomenda what do you fly?
your pick of flying machines shows a lack of brains in your part.

Thanks in advance.

hello
please give me more information about your helicopter.
I want to buy your helicopter

I live in Brazil would like to know the value of this kit helicopter. thank you

Atul Kulkarni, e-mail, 07.06.2014reply

I am from india and interested in purchaing same. Pl. send me the price FOB Mumbai port

4shellma, e-mail, 04.08.2012reply

Price, and distribution to Europe, please. thannks

HK, e-mail, 07.08.2012reply

As I posted over 2 years ago - THIS PRODUCT IS NOT AVAILABLE and HAS BEEN PROMOTED FOR OVER 10 YEARS - PROBABLY TO GET INVESTOR MONEY . Why can't you people understand that? You just keep asking for the price. If you are that stupid, it's best that you cannot get one of these anyway. It's unlikly it will ever be produced because of the liability of a machine which cannot autorotate because the pitch is NOT VARIABLE (Fixed Pitch). You must be able to obtain a zero or slightly negative pitch to autorotate and then increase pitch at the last moment to land without killing yourself.

Don Hillberg, e-mail, 14.08.2012reply

Please send your money to me, I can do so much with it, Better than If you bought this thing.

Stanford Z, e-mail, 03.06.2010reply

It looks like a nice toy. You will grow out of this in 2 weeks. If you want a real helicopter I suggest a Rotorway or a canadian Home Rotor. There is something to say about autos. You need to be able to AUTO.. No question.Or you can can buy my 2 place 160HP Shadow gyroplane.
