Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) September 06, 2013

Aeroscraft manufacturer and operator, Aeros Corp., today announced receipt of an Airworthiness Certificate R&D from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The Airworthiness Certificate was granted on Saturday, August 31.

The FAA airworthiness certificate permits the 266-ft long Aeroscraft engineering vehicle to be operated in designated controlled airspace for the purpose of research and development, and allows Aeros to conduct flight activities enabling continued evaluation of vehicle systems like VTOL (Vertical Take-Off & Landing) capability, made possible by the Aeroscrafts proprietary COSH (Control of Static Heaviness) System.

Id like to personally thank the Aviation Safety Inspectors Cindy Napolitano and Kurt Krumlauf at the FAA for their professionalism and effective collaboration with Aeros over these many months, as this airworthiness certificate helps us move full speed ahead with testing desired to further accelerate Aeroscraft fleet development, explains Aeros CEO Igor Pasternak.

The Aeroscraft is the only air vehicle of its kind. The rigid, variably buoyancy aircraft will establish new capacity for commercial and military clients as a global logistic solution, establishing the VTOL air cargo market for the 21st Century. The Aeroscraft combines attributes and benefits of fixed wing aircraft like airplanes, rotary aircraft like helicopters, and airships such as blimps or aerostats; however, the vehicle is distinct in its aerial operation because of Aeros revolutionary and proprietary buoyancy management system, or COSH (control-of-static-heaviness) which enables true VTOL cargo operations.

The Aeroscraft Dragon Dream aircraft incorporates this innovative variable buoyancy management system into a scaled down model roughly 1:2 scale of the forthcoming 66-ton cargo payload capacity transport Aeroscraft, or model ML866.
