This Presentation was originally given December 7 2011, by AeroVehicles Inc., which details a hybridized aircraft; the AeroCat, capable of performing in harsh environments, as exemplified by its ability to rescue personnel at sea. Though this is a highly conceptual design, the presentation gives a highly detailed description of the AeroCat's overall design: from dimensions to its physical make up and composition.

2. Introduction
Aircraft manufacturers around
the world have designed and
built aircraft stating that they are
multi-role capable.
Very few have in fact achieved
this e.g. the De Havilland Caribou,
the Lockheed C130 and the
Chinook helicopter.
However, none can encompass
the capability of AeroCat.

3. Multi-role Capable
Using state of the art
technology AeroCat is designed
for minimal support and can
operate in remote areas for
extended periods.
With endurance exceeding 36
hours, payloads up to 25-tons
and an airspeed of 70 knots;
AeroCat is truly a multi-mission
capable aircraft.

Crosswind 15 knots**( 27 KM)
** Crosswind above limits requires aircraft to be turned
into the wind for parking and crabbed to taxi

10. Humanitarian Aid
• Average over 20,000 kg of payload
• Deliver payload directly to one or more villages
• Carry a transport vehicle to move supplies or bring patients to a
medical AeroCat if the landing area is not next to or in the village

(12 standard pallets or 24 stacked plus 8 additional pallets on the truck)

11. Mobile Hospital
• Complete medical and dental facilities flown directly where needed.
• The medical AeroCat can stay in place as long as required while a
Humanitarian Aid/Supply AeroCat replenishes food, clothing and
other supplies as necessary.
• AeroCat’s long endurance brings quality aid and supplies in large
quantities to remote areas not easily accessible by other modes.

Facts, Not Suppositions
• Alliances
• Multi-use Aircraft
• Proven Technology
• Market Confirmed
Future Products
• Second and third generation products will scale up the capabilities of the
AeroCat aircraft to grand proportions: from a 40-50 ton payload to a
notional 250-500 ton payload aircraft, capable of transporting time-
sensitive cargo trans-oceanic.
