CONCEPT
Employ Conventional Fixed-Wing Aircraft to Tow
Simple Cargo Autogyro Gliders to Deliver Cargo with Near
Helicopter-Like Precision to Remote Areas

Why an Autogyro? Why Not A Fixed-Wing Glider?
Autogyros Can Not Stall: Enabling a More Stable, Slower, More Vertical Decent & Landing

 Air Trailer is Loaded on a Take Off Wheeled Trolley Positioned
behind Towing Aircraft or Has Wheeled Gear

 Simple DC Electric Motor Pre-Rotates Air Trailer Rotor to 50% RPM

 Towing Aircraft Departs with Air Trailer Autogyro Glider, Take Off
Trolley Remains on the Ground

CRUISE

 Air Trailer Will Fly Slightly Higher than Towing Aircraft, Pilot Can
Adjust Height by Beeper Switch Adding More Pitch to Rotor

 Speed Depends on Weight & Towing A/C HP…About 80 Knots
For Light STOL Bush Planes, 100 Knots for Crop Dusters


JA-1A Half Ton

NEAR HELO-LIKE DELIVERY
Towing Aircraft Flies Over Landing Zone (LZ) to Access Winds
1 then Releases Air Trailer on Return Pass Short of LZ

Air Trailer Rotor Angle Increases 50-150 ft
2 and Begins Deceleration

Air Trailer Flares for
3 Near Zero Ground Roll

Six Air Trailer Rotor Heads & Blades
Fit into a Air Trailer for Return via an Air Strip
Near By or For Easy Ground Transport 100-300 ft Landing Zone


JA-1A Half Ton
Low Cost Near
Helicopter Delivery
 REMOTE AREAS: Alaska-Canada-Philippines-South America
 Hunting-Fishing Lodges, Including Delivery of Fishing Boats!
 Oil & Gas Exploration and Pipeline Support
 Oil Rig Platform Re-Supply
 Mail and Parcel Delivery

 HOMELAND SECURITY DISASTER RELIEF:
 Emergency Medical /Survival Supplies
 Rapid Food Distribution
 Water Bomber for Forest Fires

 MILITARY RESUPPLY (Avoids Land Mines & Ground Convoy Ambushes)
 Air Trailer Towed by UH-60 or Caravan Avoids Brown Out & Carries 50% More Cargo
 Rapid FOL or FARP Insertion & Setup
 Enables Scout-Attack Helicopters to Deliver Cargo
 Enables M113 Gavin Force to maneuver away from FOB indefinitely via air re-supply

 FIXED-WING UAV CAPABLE: (Low-Cost Towing by Fixed-Wing Automated to be UAS)


JA-1A Half Ton
More Cargo Weight & Space, Greater
Accuracy & Lower Cost Over Para-Drop

 MORE CARGO: For a Given Towing Aircraft Gross Weight, the Added Lift of Gliders
Results in about 50% More Payload than What the Aircraft Could Have Carried Alone,
Albeit at a slower speed

 BETTER OUTSIZE CARGO CAPACITY: Most Aircraft Cargo Areas have Limited Space,
Air Trailer Enables Large Volume to Facilitate Parcel-Mail Delivery Where Cubic Footage is More
Important Than Cargo Weight

 GREATER ACCURACY THAN PARA-DROP: Parachuting Cargo in Remote Areas Requires
at least 500-700 ft Altitude Above the Ground to Allow the Chute to Open, Air Trailer is Already
“Flying” and can be Delivered with as Little as 50 feet Above Ground Altitude Enabling Far
Greater Accuracy

 LOWER COST THAN PARADROP: Parachuting Cargo Requires Large Specialized Aircraft
with
Ramps with Costly Rigger Support and Uses Costly “Dumb” Parachutes and Expensive Cargo
Bags (i.e. A-22), the Air Trailer cost less than a Comparable Cargo Chute, Needs no Rigger
Support and Can Deliver More Cargo per Sortie than a Comparable Cargo Aircraft can Para-drop

 LEVERAGES LOW-COST, FIXED-WING AIRCRAFT: Air Trailer Enables the Use of Low-
Cost Utility Fixed-Wing Aircraft Such as Agriculture Spraying Aircraft to carry Large Volume,
Heavy Weight Cargo and Deliver to Remote Areas with Near Helicopter-Like Precision at Less Than
20% the Cost of Helo-Delivered Cargo...

and Actual Cargo Weight


Example Mission Cost Savings 100 nm Mission: Near Vertical Insertion
of 1,000 lb Cargo in a 12 ft X 4ft X 4ft Box
 $750 per Hour The Bell Jet Ranger carrying internal 500 pounds would need to
 Single Pilot @ $50/hr Make two trips and could not come close to 12 ft box dimensions.
 70 kts w/Slingload It could sling load a 12 ft box weighing about 500 pounds and still
 Payload 500 lb Require two trips. Each trip would cost about $2,250 for the aircraft
and $150 for the pilot resulting in a total cost of about $5,000.
Bell Jet Ranger
COST: $5,000
 $1,500 per Hour The Casa 212 Light Cargo Plane could carry about 6,000 pounds
 Crew 3 @ $150/hr of cargo for the distance it’s cargo bay can only carry one 12 ft Box
 150 kts to para-drop. The aircraft would need to make only one trip and take
 Payload One 1,000 lb about 1 hour and 30 minutes to complete resulting in a cost of
12 ft Boxes Para-dropped $2,250 for the aircraft and $225 for the pilots & load master for a
Casa 212-200  Rigger Cost $500 per Box Total cost of about $5,000.
COST: $5,000, if Chute Not Recovered then $8,500
 $100 per Hour The Air Trailer Half Ton Towed by a Cessna 172 could carry 1,000
 One Pilot @ $50/hr Pounds of cargo in a 12 foot box. The aircraft would take about 3
 70 kts Towing Air Trailer hours to complete the trip and cost about $300 and about $150 for
 Payload 1,000 lb 12ft Box
Air Trailer the pilot for a total cost of about $500. The Air Trailer is designed
Like the parachute kit to be recoverable and cost about the same.
& Cessna 172
COST: $500, if Air Trailer Not Recovered then $4,000
Casa 212 Para-Dropping it’s Full Cargo Load Still Cost 2 X Air Trailer


Towed Aircraft and Glider Metrics
Over 10,000 Cargo Gliders Used in WW II

Towing Aircraft Towed Aircraft
C-47 CG-4

Typical Payload = 6,300 lbs
+
Typical Payload = 3,700 lbs
@ 140 kts Cruise

Combined Payload = 10,000 lbs @ 115 kts Cruise
 CARGO ADVANTAGE: 50-100% More Payload Than the Towing Aircraft Alone
 AIRSPEED PENALTY: About 20-25% Loss of Cruise Speed as “Energy Price”

Fixed-Wing Gliders Need 1,000-1,200 ft Landing Areas…Autogyros Need 50-100 ft


 Reduces Ground Convoys & Land Mine Exposure
 Low-Cost, Fixed Wing = Reduced Helo Fleet Use
 Use with Automated Fixed Wing i.e. Caravan
= Low Risk Unmanned Cargo Operations

Reduces Land Mine Exposure, Helo-Like Cargo Delivery via Low Cost Fixed-Wing
Accurate UAV Cargo Operations with Automated, Fixed Wing i.e. Caravan


 Avoids Slow Hazardous Ground Transport
 Leverages Available Fixed-Wing Aircraft
 Low-Cost Sustainable Helo-Like Delivery
 Aerial Relief to “No Road” Disaster Areas

Leverages Readily Available Light, Fixed-Wing Aircraft to Execute
Low-Cost, Sustainable Helicopter-Like Delivery of Relief Supplies without Roads


 Avoids Slow Hazardous Ground Transport
 Leverages Available, Fixed-Wing Aircraft
 Low-Cost, Sustainable Aerial Delivery of Cargo

Supports Oil-Gas Industrial Operations in Remote Areas i.e. Alaska-Canada
Supports Hunting Fishing Sport Industry in Alaska-Canada
Cargo-Parcel Delivery in Remote Areas i.e. Philippines (10,000 Islands 90 Million People)


SUMMARY
The Near Helicopter Landing Performance of an Autogyro Along with it’s
Extremely Low-Cost & Simplicity Enables Autogyro Towed Gliders to
Significantly Lower the Cost of Precision Delivery Air Cargo Supporting
Military, Homeland Security, Disaster Relief & Commercial Needs.
