Aerospace start up, developed a new jet engine at NASA JSC, that is now being used to power two vehicles one you can fly without a pilots license the other is a drone that lifts 500 lbs and flies for hours. The jet engine is a radically different design compared to conventional jet engines. Testing has already demonstrated a 15% overall improvement in fuel efficiency which would be worth billions to the airline industry . It also allows the intake and thrust output to be in different places allowing for faster, quieter and shorter take off plane designs. It "spools" up and down in seconds and is a much lighter. But jet engine developments for human use take years of testing and in the meantime there are two ready to sell spin offs the FAA can permit.
The first is a "FAA part 103" compliant ultralight called the Elevan. A powered autogyro, it is incredibly safe and easy to fly, takes off vertically, and you do no need a pilot's license. It is like a flying ATV and will retail for about$40,000. And the second and more valuable is The Fury. It is a heavy lift, delta wing drone. It has a much larger market with many different uses. It lifts 500 lbs vertically, has twin diesel disk jet engines we call the Phantom drives and can fly for hours. The delta wing designs permits significant fuel savings in horizontal flight. Spraying fields, putting out fires, carrying a 20 foot pine tree to plant on a slope or carrying bullets and bandages to our troops, nothing can beat the Fury's performance. Estimated retail about $80,000 per unit, it will be almost entirely robotically assembled with a production time of only 2 weeks per unit (just-in-time manufacturing). We are now building molds, tools, completing some non recurring engineering with our vendors for the production version and creating initial inventory of ten for marketing and sales.
