Takes a person out
Flies out empty. They climb in. It brings them back. The fuel burned on the way out weighs about as much as the person, so it's no heavier coming home.
01/05One-person rescue aircraft
When nothingelse canfly.
One person, to or from almost anywhere within 150 km. Ready in about a minute. Built for storms, strong wind, low cloud and night.
Two jobs, one aircraft.
It works in both directions, and needs no runway at either end.
Brings a person in
Carries a rescuer, medic or doctor to where they are needed, when roads, boats and helicopters can't get there.

02/05Night and extreme weather operations
Built forthe worstnight.
Helicopters wait for the storm to pass. The person who needs help can't.
We fly right through it.
What grounds helicopters doesn't ground this.
Four conditions keep most rescue aircraft on the ground. The Jetwing is designed around each one.
Sees in the dark
Radar and lidar, matched to terrain maps, find a safe landing spot with no light at all.
Lands blind
Flies itself and lands without seeing the ground. No pilot to get disoriented.
Steady in gusts
A small, heavily loaded wing moving fast is pushed around less than a slow, light aircraft.
Heated and sealed
Heated edges, inlets and sensors keep ice off. A sealed shell keeps the rider warm and dry.
Full redundancy. No single failure brings it down.
-
Pilot / Passenger
An untrained rider touches nothing; a trained one can steer within safe limits.
-
CECS (Crew Environmental Control System)
Takes the brutal conditions of flight and makes them usable, not tiring or dangerous.
-
HMD
Full-color helmet-mounted display with night vision. The primary link between rider and aircraft.
03/05Systems, autonomy and safety
Flies itself.Fails safe.
The person inside should never have to save the aircraft. Every system is built around that.
Pilot / Passenger
An untrained rider touches nothing; a trained one can steer within safe limits.
CECS (Crew Environmental Control System)
Takes the brutal conditions of flight and makes them usable, not tiring or dangerous.
HMD
Full-color helmet-mounted display with night vision. The primary link between rider and aircraft.
Six systems, one rule.
No single failure brings it down, and the person inside never has to take over.
Fly-by-wire
Computers move every control surface and engine. The aircraft can't be pushed outside its safe limits.
Autonomy
Launch, route, landing and return, all on its own. No pilot needed on board.
Sensing
Radar, lidar and terrain maps build a picture of the ground in darkness, cloud and rain.
Integration
Takes its target straight from dispatch, reports its position the whole way, lands where it's sent.
Redundancy
Every critical system is doubled. No single failure brings it down.
Chute and hover protection
A ballistic parachute for the whole aircraft. In hover, a separate protection system makes sure an engine failure doesn't write off the aircraft.
04/05Mission: pilot recovery
Out empty.Back withone.
02:10, low cloud, no moon. A fighter pilot ejects 110 km behind the front line, where a rescue helicopter would likely be shot down.

02:10, low cloud, no moon. A fighter pilot ejects 110 km behind the front line, where a rescue helicopter would likely be shot down. This is how the Jetwing brings them back, with nobody else put in danger.
- 00:00
Ejection
Beacon picked up. The rescue center sends the position.
- 00:01
Launch
Lifts off empty from a dispersed base. Low and fast.
- 00:16
Arrival
Lands by the beacon in the dark. No crew on board to lose.
- 00:19
Pickup
The pilot climbs in. Flight suit and harness already on.
- 00:35
Home
Back across the line. One pilot recovered, nobody else at risk.
Who it's built for.
Anyone who has to reach one person fast, where helicopters can't safely go.
Air forces
Bring downed pilots home.
Armies
Get the wounded off the front line.
Special forces
In and out with no landing zone.
Navies & coast guards
Reach crews in storms.
Civil protection
Keep working through the disaster.
05/05At a glance
The Jetwing, on one page.
A one-person aircraft that takes off and lands vertically, cruises on a wing and flies itself. It goes out empty to bring someone back, or carries a rescuer in, in conditions that ground helicopters.
