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.
