Carter Aviation Technologies Website Update
New Company Philosophy
We've updated quite a few pages on the website over the past few days, mostly related to the fact that Carter is making a slight change to its company philosophy. Whereas before, we'd always maintained that we were a pure research & development company, and would license our technologies to other companies to do manufacturing, we now feel that partnering with a manufacturer, as opposed to licensing, may be the best way to bring slowed rotor/compound aircraft to the market. We will still keep the main focus of the company as research & development. If you're interested in placing a deposit for a Carter rotorcraft, we've updated our Placing an Order section to reflect his change, and to include the new aircraft model discussed below (http://www.cartercopters.com/placing_order.html).
New Model: 2-Place Personal Air Vehicle
We've unveiled a new design for a 2-Place Personal Air Vehicle, a new aircraft designed with the intent of it being an entry level Carter rotorcraft. For simplicity, it has been designed as a pure autogyro. It will have a rotor and prop very similar in design to those used on the Carter Gyro Demonstrator Trainer (CGD/T), allowing jump takeoffs and zero roll landings similar to those of the CGD/T, while having a top speed of around 130 mph. As mentioned above, we've updated our Placing an Order section to start taking deposits on this aircraft.
More PAV 2+2 Construction Photos
We've added a fourth page of 2+2 Personal Air Vehicle Construction Images so that you can follow our progress.
New Look for Concepts & Technologies Index Page
We gave the Concepts & Technologies index page a new look, using small thumbnail images for each concept. This may seem like a small update, but it makes it much easier to distinguish the concepts at a glance.
