Lowest Cost, Autonomous, Door-To-Door, Personal Air Mobility… TODAY!

Proposed is a simple, low-cost[ble of rapid, autonomous, door-to-door mobility without requiring an operator/pilot license. Will be powered by our simple, low cost, maximally-efficient, rotary engine designs. 

All current modes of transportation are slow, dangerous and costly, using failing infrastructures. Several companies are attempting to address these problems with a large/heavy, electrified,

LunaSonar: Acoustic Spread-Spectrum Positioning, Navigation, Timing, and Command System for UAV Swarms

Problem

Modern unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operations depend heavily on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and radio-frequency (RF) communications for positioning, timing, synchronization, and command dissemination. In military operations, underground facilities, tunnels, industrial plants, warehouses, and disaster-response environments, these signals may be unavailable, intentionally jammed, or restricted,

LZ Guardian AI: Ground-Deployed Safety for Helicopter Landing Zones

The most dangerous obstacle in a helicopter rescue is often the one nobody can see. Every day, air-medical crews, firefighters, search-and-rescue teams, law enforcement, and military aviators land at unprepared sites full of hidden hazards. Wires are the deadliest of all. They are nearly invisible from the air even through night-vision goggles,

On the Development of a High-altitude System for the Launch of a Reuseable Satellite Tow Vehicle

This design proposes a cost-effective, reusable satellite launch system that combines a high-altitude balloon lift (rockoon) with a novel oblique-wing first stage and skip re-entry procedure to overcome the prohibitive costs, slow turnaround times, and infrastructure demands of traditional rockets. The system lifts a 36–40 metric ton vehicle via ten balloons to 36 km,

PHOENIX-UAV: Self-Healing Composite Airframe for Multi-Impact Survivability

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have become indispensable tools in defense, disaster response, infrastructure inspection, agriculture, logistics, and environmental monitoring. Despite their growing adoption, one of the major limitations of current UAV systems is their vulnerability to crash-induced structural damage. Hard landings, collisions with obstacles, and repeated operational impacts can cause cracks, delamination, fiber breakage,
