Technology Fanned By Mundus + AirStar, With Terminator VTOL In The Non-Wings
Mundus Group, Inc. (Pink Sheets: MNDP) and AirStar have announced the new-ducted fan technology will replace the current AirStar in service with government agencies worldwide.
Currently, AirStar has been under contract with U.S. Army, U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force as a search and rescue vehicle. When lives are at stake and fog or smoke is too heavy to fly conventional rescue and search missions in, helicopters are grounded — that's when AirStar is activated, with its advanced 360-degree real time HD video camera and infrared surveillance optical package. The increased stability of RAI's technology is inherent in the counter rotating propellers, which makes the vehicle gyroscopic and provides "the most stable solution," as Head of New Technology for the Pentagon and Far West Federal Laboratories, Mike Sullivan, said upon creation of RAI's CRADA in 2001. Mundus Group will sell its vehicles as complete packages for surveillance, aerial photography, special effects and an array of robotics packages.
