SAFER BY DESIGN

Improving safety through innovation

REACTION DRIVE ELIMINATES WEIGHT AND COMPLEXITY  

Removes transmission and tail rotor from the aircraft reducing weight and maintenance 

Transmission Fluid Change
Mechanic Working on engine

The high inertia power system allows more time to respond to loss of power and delays drop in rotor speed 

Jet thrust is released from the power system near the tips of the rotor blades, interrupting vortex formation and channeling a substantial volume of air radially outward from the nozzles. This thrust is applied at the end of the rotor blade, where the majority of lift occurs and where it is most vulnerable to Vortex Ring State (VRS).

GREATLY REDUCED PARTS COUNT AND POINTS OF FAILURE

Substantially lower costs of maintenance and total cost of ownership
