Dubai based Venatol presented in a Press meeting a newly developed Gyrocopter, which is a hybrid between an airplane and a helicopter for commercial use which has been designed based on requirements from governmental agencies.
Venatol described the strategic intent of this unique product in design and to build a universal multi-purpose airborne platform (gyrocopter), to achieve 85% of a helicopter's capabilities at 20% of a helicopter's cost, to continuously improve design, flight performance and mission capabilities.
"The current two products are the Sky-Cop/01 "Raptor" one seater (open and closed cockpit), Sky-Cop/02 two seater (open cockpit) designed for pilot training, with a range of 500km and useful load of up to 330kg customized wiring of wings to almost any high - tech loading specification" explained Dr. Barbara Urasch Venatol Vice President .
"The Raptor is a universal airborne platform with a wide field of potential applications for governmental agencies and commercial organizations" said Dr. Barbara Urasch.
"The Raptor is the first ever designed Gyrocopter for use within police and military Special Forces. Possible applications are the traffic control, boarder control, coast guard, flying emergency and harbor control. One of the systems main parts represents the camera system which records and transmits in real time. The Gyrocopter has a carbon body and is also in a bullet proof version available. Another feature is the speaker system which allows guiding people on the ground" described Mr. Kaindl the Austrian designer and developer of the Raptor.
The Mc Kinsey study showed the worldwide needs of 1800 units per year. After three years market research and the facts that our Gyrocopter is very save, easy and comfortable to fly, cheap to purchase compared with a helicopter, shows a big potential of this product. "The Gyrocopter is using 16 liter gasoline per hour versus to 100 liter aviation 100LL per hour for a proper helicopter. "The carbon footprint similar to that of a car makes it the most environmentally friendly airborne platform available" Mr. Kaindl explained.
"The strong and growing aviation industry in the UAE gives us the best environment to place a production facility as well as a high tech research and development center. To find and work with powerful partners is also one of the big advantages for this region. The first phase with an investment of 80 Million Dirham will have a production capacity of 800 units per year. Till today we have already received a big number of preorders from Asia and South America and also big interest from Military in Europe said "Dr. Barbara Urasch.
