SPRINGTAIL APPLICATIONS
 

Springtail Vehicle Applications

Unique Features

Springtail, provides a breakthrough in personal air mobility.  Providing fast and efficient door-to-door travel options for short and mid-range travel.  This vehicle's versatile applications range from piloted to remotely piloted, allowing it to perform duties that encompass crop dusting, search and rescue, emergency response, transportation, and delivering cargo.

  1. Shielded rotors that allow safer maneuverability in populated areas.

  2. A small footprint which allows Springtail the ability to takeoff and land vertically on flat rooftops, parking areas, intersections, clearings, and other tight spaces.

  3. Low maintenance and operating costs.

  4. Inexpensive to store. Due to its small size, it takes up less garage space than a car, and does not require hanger space, airports, or runways like most flying vehicles.

  5. Intuitive operation and training programs can create a large pool of qualified operators to fly them.

Springtail Military Applications

Springtail is capable of improving and performing surveillance, reconnaissance, troop insertion, light assault, and search & rescue missions. It will smoothly transport its operator over difficult terrain, such as buildings, trees, brush, rocks, ravines, and swamps, as well as over open water and minefields. Springtail allows extremely close-quarters operations and unconventional access to restricted areas. All of this will increase the survivability, physiological performance, and lethality of our troops.

Springtail Applications for Emerging Nations

Emerging nations do not have the infrastructure or the resources to build the roads, bridges and other governmental assets that allow an economy to grow and develop. The daily radius of human activity in many of these nations is about 3 miles per day (what it was in the United States in 1900). Their roadways are inadequate for the demands placed on them. This single constraint artificially limits economic growth through loss of time and opportunity. Many emerging countries do not require the FAA certification that is necessary here in the United States, especially when a product, such as Springtail, gives them an immediate solution to many of their transportation and logistics problems.

Springtail Commercial and Industrial Applications

With the development of the FAA's "Highway in the Sky" program, travel via PAV's may be obtainable within a few years! This is exciting news for the general consumer and their desire to rise above congested traffic to the unlimited expanse of the sky. As the FAA continues their research and development, we too are working on creating vehicles that can meet the needs of the flight ready consumer, from commuting and travel, to tourism, and industrial applications, to package and pizza delivery.
