LEADING THE FANCRAFT REVOLUTION 

AIRDFT : REVOLUTIONARY CAPABILITIES FOR TODAY’S

BATTLEFIELDAND TOMORR OW’S CHALLENGES 

AIRDFT: BEYOND THE BATTLEFIELD 

Our Partner family of aircraft r epresent a true r evolution in

VTOL technology. Our partner  paten ted, aerodynamic

innovations radically transform basic d ucted -fan

configurations into uniquely stable and maneuverable air craft

that can r each speeds of  betwee n 100 to 140 kts and carry

significant paylo ads for up to 5 hours. With their  shr ouded  

rotors and small footprint, Fancraft are uniquely suitedto

urban and obstructed environments.The  present ‘family’

includes the single engined “AirDFT” Cargo and

DFTEvac UAS, its manned va riant, and the lar ger , 

twin-engined “X-Hawk”, a 10  passen ger version. All have both

civil and military applications. AirDFT, our partner flagship 

aircraft, is currently undergoing flight testing.  

Today’s  battlefield is increasingly defined by an enemy whose

unconventional tactics seriously challenge conventional

technologies. Tomorr ow’s  battlefield will undoubtedly be mor e

so. Cities and obstructed or  inaccessible environmentsare the

insurgent’s battlefield of  choice. Supply convoys and medical

teams entering these locations are under constant thr eats

unlike any that have been experienced in the past. IEDs and

r oof-launched RPGs are an ever more lethal force against

humvees, trucks and helicopters. AirDFT, a tactical

Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) can help combatants r eclaim

an essential edge by enabling precise point to point support

and DFTEvac solutions in battle cond itions that are incr eas-

ingly averse to conventional r otor craft access. 

AirDFT’s small visual footprint, low noise and r educed IR 

signature offer  a stealth advantage that greatly enhances its

effectiveness and survivability. Unmatched time to target with

the unprecedented capability of  DFTEvac on r eturn offers life

saving potential. Simplicity of  design without a complex cyclic

r otor  head means high reliability and low operating cost. 

AirDFT offers much needed capabilities to emergency

r esponders in the most challenging situations such as

earthquakes and floods. The ability to quickly deliver water ,

food and medica l supplies directly to affected  popula tions--

no matter how isolated--can save lives. During nuclear ,

 biologic al or chemical emergencies AirDFT offers transfor ma-

tive assessment and r esponse  capabilities. Day to day

multiple mission capability (electric grids,  bridge inspect ion,

agricultural spraying, of fshor e oil platfor m support to n ame a

few) makes AirDFT a co st effective addition to any commer-

cial helicopter fleet.
