Pterodynamics Secret

• The US Navy is looking to use drones to provide critical repair shipments to broken warships.
• The Bluewateer Maritime Logistics Uas project is seeking innovative VTOL designs.
• The unique design of the creeping dynamic dynamic dynamica recently received an expansion of $ 4.65 million.

The US Navy wants to find out if drones the size of motorcycles can do what the experimental spine helicopter is doing and the aircraft currently doing-which flying critical repair shipments to broken warships.

The critical parts of the reform of the warships are unable Weight less than a pound. The current delivery approach aims to fuel and other resources and puts a lot of unnecessary erosion on the H-60 ​​and V-22 V-22.

Nobody really needs a heavy plane covered with this. There is no fixed alternative, at least not yet.

Solving this problem-the basic focus of the Bluewateer Maritime Logistics UAS project-is a major opportunity for defense technology companies such as Pterodynamics Inc. It is based in Colorado.

“There is a value of value. It must reach a hard -to -reach place. It must get there quickly. It is a time sensitive. People pay a lot of money today to do this The task.

The company recently chose to expand $ 4.65 million from Air Force Military Air Force Squad To develop the design of the new transit aircraft, thus the total value of the contract reaches more than $ 7 million. The new financing will support the development of a new transwing model, XP-5.

Many companies have contributed to Bluewateer UAS ideas, many of which are differences in classic designs. Transwing, as a detailed or “cracked” design, is unique.

It is “very interesting design”, which is the Bluewateer Project project, Bill Macchione, he told BI, explaining that the goal of marine designs evaluates the designs and unintended vertical decline (VTOL) in finding the reduced complications in both engineering and employment.

“This was interesting about the design of creeping dynamics as a detailed wing,” he said. It is “a simple linear operator that expresses the wings on the axis, and these traditional fans in the fixed wing become the fans of the VTOL mode.”

“This is where the turmoil occurs.”

The designs of the first VTOL aircraft were early helicopters. Then came designs such as Jets Jets, tail rational aircraft, and tilt roundabouts. Pterodynamics has now patented a new design that enhances flying fans and can fold the wings around the fuselage.

Its wings extend in the cruise and folding stage again during the vertical trip to a composition that resembles a vukopter while taking off and landing.

Graczyk calls for the design of the Transwing “VTOL 3.0”.

The unique design came from Val Petrov, mathematics, chemist and expert in non -linear dynamics that spent years in asset management and capital. He was not an airline engineer, but he was, as Graczyk Bi said, “Tinkerer”.

“When you ask a educated person in a field, he worked in a field, and how to solve a problem, they go to how to teach him to solve the problem,” said Graczyk, and you ultimately end up with a change in the current design.

He said: “When you ask someone who did not learn how to solve the problem, this is the place where innovation lives,” Bi tells that this is the key to making something new. “This is where the turmoil occurs. This is how Petrov managed to imagine this transmission that did not come from Airbus, Lockheed, Raytheon or Boeing.”

Petrov is the founder and chairman of the liver dynamica.

Whether the design of crawling dynamics is what the navy eventually needs, but the service is interested.

Some other designs that are viewed and tested by the navy include part of the Bluewateer SkyWays V2.6, V-Bat’s Sheleldai and Sierra Nevada Corporation Voly-50, among other things that include their own innovations.

“The world is changing”

The Bluewateer Uas Technology Development Program started in the navy years ago, developing from a 2018 study that found about 48 % of all critical reform shipments that are transported to ships by the U -16 military driving plane, smaller than a regular water bottle. The study found that 76 % of all parts are less than 10 pounds, and 90 % are less than 50 pounds.

The navy is interested in determining whether the VTOL drone, which is more than 330, can operate these delivery tasks instead of covered aircraft.

Drones should be capable of flying 400 nautical miles on a round and forth flight, and perhaps eventually 1000 miles, on a mixture of electricity and fuel JP-5 with a 50-wheel load load stored internally and lands on the surface of the moving deck in the sea without any infrastructure for support and the lowest sailor sharing.

Using small drones to large cost savings. Each Sikorsky SH-60/MH-60 Sehawk costs more than $ 30 million and requires two fully trained human pilots. This is not even the treasures of operational costs and sustainability.

In drones, there should also be a certain degree of autonomy.

This is not the type of thing in which someone sits with a console in their hands and controlling the plane. ”Graczyk said about Transwing. You pay, go, and do the task, and the lands. You no longer have to participate. “

“To some extent, he can make decisions on their own,” he said.

Getting a drone to fly this task is not like Amazon drones. Amazon should not worry about the opponents trying to drop them or disturb their connections. There is also no need to land on a moving goal in an unforgettable delivery environment.

“Landing on ships and working around ships is not easy,” John Bruyng, director of Talouga Group at MSC.

Facing the difficult operational expectations of the Navy Bluewateer Technology Development Program is a complex technological challenge that is working with a group of companies to overcome. The project is not yet a record program and is currently experimental. However, this is where military technology is heading.

“The world is changing,” said Graczyk. “We see political geography change, and we see the way the variable war is carried out, and the way diplomacy is made, all of which change. There is a special transformation in bias towards the higher size, and low -cost independent systems, which can be exploited.”

He said that there are enormous possibilities and “an evolutionary introduction in the market” is the key. “We are trying to use this revolutionary technology to solve the problems present today.”
