Structural Inflatables

On the left a horizontal Magnus Effect Rotor attempting to lift the two handlers. In the center an inflatable power kite, the Semi-Sail™ being checked prior to being attached to our proa sailing boat for the  Sailing Speed Trials at Portland Harbor in the UK. On the right one of our aerial photos UK taken from a Semi-Sail™ of our village in Dorset, England

Aeronautical products from left to right with plane pictures of our high-pressure airBeam™ AirCruiser™ concept over New York. Secondly the remotely controlled helicopter alternative, the Aer-O-Volve™ Contra-Rotating Magnus effect hybrid. Next a 30ft Span Inflat-A-Plane™, one of our remote control planes, loading a radio controlled airplane or RPV for glide flight tests and on the extreme right another of our rc airplanes in flight to take some aerial photos

The Aeronautical site contains photos and designs of many weird and/or practical flying machines! Some are both!

Our concept hybrid Airship/Aircraft the AirCruiser™can 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.Top
