Mayman Aerospace unveiling first full-scale mannequin of Razor™ P100 navy VTOL throughout SOF Week 2024 – sUAS Information – The Enterprise of Drones

Mayman Aerospace will unveil a full-scale mannequin of Razor, its high-speed Air Utility Car, throughout SOF Week 2024, Might 6-10 in Tampa, Florida.

Razor is the title for the navy variant of the dual-use, jet-powered, high-speed vertical take-off and touchdown (HS-VTOL) automobile, from US-based producer Mayman Aerospace. Derived from the Speeder design, the scalable Razor plane can be sized for payloads as much as 1,000lb. Prototypes are already below building for flight take a look at in Q3 this 12 months. The 100lb-payload Razor P100 is anticipated to fly first, and the 500lb-payload Razor P500 quickly after. Mayman Aerospace will showcase a full-scale Razor P100 mannequin throughout SOF Week 2024.

With greater than US$120 million in LOI commitments from clients in Europe and Australia, plus US$3.25 million in US Division of Protection funding, Mayman Aerospace has been increasing its skilled engineering crew whereas ramping up for flight testing.

Mayman Aerospace has additionally introduced improvement of SkyField™, an AI-driven, autonomous Razor working surroundings engineered for seamless integration into present third-party battlefield administration programs. SkyField will allow quick, efficient Razor operations alongside present {hardware} and software program programs, plus a simplified path to future functionality improvement.

“We’re excited to additional outline and develop Razor and the SkyField working system as we work to carry the plane’s in depth capabilities to the warfighter. Razor is simply step one in creating the SkyField flight mesh. Alongside our Division of Protection colleagues, we’re realizing the complete functionality unlocked by Razor’s distinctive design in fight situations, humanitarian and catastrophe aid operations, and coaching,” says David Mayman, CEO and founding father of Mayman Aerospace.

Razor fulfills disparate missions in an period the place real-world battlefield necessities are quickly evolving. The necessity for fight mass via a number of, extremely succesful, low-cost, and attritable platforms is quickly rising. Razor’s low price, jet velocity, and VTOL versatility make it uniquely appropriate for the next-generation battlespace.

Simply transported for mass launch within the discipline, from ships, or the air, Razor could also be configured for contested logistics, armed with Hellfire or Brimstone missiles as a variety extender for precision assault, flown as a low-cost cruise missile, or geared up with superior sensors for ISTAR, digital warfare, and the suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD). The plane may even be used as a high-speed, low-cost goal drone, requiring no particular launch infrastructure for air-to-air and air protection coaching.
