The Aeronautical site contains photos and designs of many weird and/or practical flying machines! Some are both!
Remotely Piloted Vehicles (RPVs), or Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs)
The AirCruiser our airplane & airship hybrid
Aerial Photos from our UMAs and inflated kites
Hand & Remotely Piloted (RC) Aerodynamic Balloons, or Kites
Flying Saucers and Magnus Effect or Flettner Rotor inflated RC Air Vehicles
UFO pictures, with UFO pictures taken during the day and night
Our concept hybrid Airship/Aircraft the AirCruisercan act as a radio control Blimp, or can be piloted, depending on its purpose. One purpose is as a piloted Cruise ship in the sky and another is as an repeater Antenna controlled from the ground. We include an experimental horizontal Magnus Effect or Flettner Rotor that attempted to take the two handlers off the ground!
Although most of these projects have been based on serious research into what is possible and what is, at this stage, difficult to achieve, they have also given us and others a lot of pleasure and certainly have intrigued pundits and the media.
None more so than the Flying Saucer that we put up over an English Dorset village which caused considerable controversy.
We have an inflated man powered helicopter project to try and win the Kramer prize for the first manpowered helicopter flight.
You can access all of these projects here by clicking on the relevant buttons on the left hand side above.
