Since 1998, Carter has been developing manned prototypes of its vehicles, as seen below, including its PAV (Personal Air Vehicle), which is still in use and undergoing test flights.
Jaunt aims at becoming another business partner for Uber Elevate and is currently seeking additional funding.Ĭarter Aviation is also working on several other types of vertical flight technology and has a depth of knowledge and experience in the area. Little is still known about Jaunt, except that it was founded last May by New Jersey engineer and entrepreneur Kaydon Stanzione. This week, Jaunt announced its acquirement of the SRC technology. The Carter Copter technology demonstrator, which made its first flight in 1998.Īpparently, Jaunt Air Mobility, a newly founded aspiring UAM company with little public information, agrees with Carter on the importance of slow-rotor compound technology. The rotor’s added length also makes for low rotor tip speeds, which would potentially lower the noise emission from the aircraft. Unlike other eVTOL concepts which require parachutes in the event of emergencies, the Carter Copter can use its rotor to complete auto-rotation landings. Learn more about the Carter Copter specs.Ĭarter believes that it’s slowed-rotor compound technology (SR/C), which it’s been developing since as early as 1998, could be an ideal solution for urban air taxis, owing to its added efficiency, safety, and noise control. Unlike many other designs, the carter copter features a single, long lift rotor rather the IDEP (integrated distributed electric propulsion). The Carter Copter, which Carter Aviation has named as it’s ‘Electric Air Taxi’ is designed to fit Uber Elevate’s specifications for Air Taxis. An incident like this left no opportunity for an emergency landing.Jaunt Air Mobility, a UAM company that was recently unveiled at the Vertical Flight Society symposium this month, has acquired the rights to the Carter slowed-rotor compound (SR/C) technology used in the Carter Copter eVTOL concept. military's Apache Helicopter believes it must have been a catastrophic failure of some type. It's unclear exactly why the chopper went down but Heidorn who manufactured rotors for the U.S. "I'm shocked, I mean I looked at some of the crash footage and I just cannot believe how mangled the helicopter is," Heidorn said. Heidorn says both Carter and Foster were experienced pilots. His Bell 407 helicopter crashed in an open area near Perris. Some people even use them in their backyards to provide extra shade.Ĭarter was the company's chairman and founder until his tragic death last Friday. That's how the idea of E-Z UP was born.Į-Z UP's can be found all over at sporting tailgates, flee markets and many other organized events. After a hot summer enjoying a boat race on the Colorado River, Carter got the idea of having a "portable pop up shelter" that could be easily assembled and taken down.
💔 /rRzk8lkQE2- E-Z UP March 29, 2023Īt the age of 21 in 1983, Carter also invented the E-Z UP, an instant shelter that is used by people around the world. Our hearts go out to the families of Mark and Dennis and all who were close to them. Mark was traveling with his friend, Dennis Foster when their helicopter crashed on Friday afternoon. We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our company founder, Mark Carter.
