Mundus Group Subsidiary, AirStar Introduces All Electric UAV

Response To Requests From Major Nature, Environmental Documentary Companies

Following several requests from motion picture and documentary industry clients, AirStar has unvieled an all electric, emission free, UAV. The Evolution is an electric powered helicopter for industrial payload applications, which is capable of smooth precision hover and smooth transition forward flight.

"We used our very successful and proven chassis, and our in house design engineering and prototyping team modified it for the electric power plant," said AirStar Founder Josef Joebstl. "It is manufactured from aircraft aluminum on our CNC machines. We're proud to offer the next generation of technologies in a quiet electric RC helicopter powered by the new custom electric engine. With high torque and relatively low speed, the Evolution provides quiet, smooth, vibration-free operation. AirStar is offering the Evolution EX as an environmentally friendly version of the famous AirStar CamCopter as used in countless movies and commercials."

AirStar says the Evolution CamCopter camera ship is the perfect non-invasive eco-friendly virtual platform for cinematography in pristine sanctuaries and environmentally sensitive areas where the study of wild life and eco systems cannot be sacrificed with gasoline engines and toxic exhaust at the expense of those same pristine qualities of life that we are trying to save and preserve.

AirStar says it has also been approached with requests for surveillance drones adapted for silent operation with zero emissions capable of close range surveillance.

With the advent of electric powered helicopters and the advancements in battery technologies, flight times are expected to increase. The electric engine produces absolutely no emissions offering endless possibilities for aerial cinematography.
