Cyber
Defense Announces CyberScout Performs Transition From Hover
To Forward Flight
Cyber Defense Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: CYDF)
announces that on May 13 their CyberScout UAV performed its
first transition flight from hover flight to forward flight.
The CyberScout, a gas powered VTOL type vehicle, is the first
in a series of planned UAV''s being developed to hover and/or
fly horizontally for up to 60 minutes at speeds of 300 MPH
plus. The successful test flight began with a stable hover
followed by a vertical ascent to 200 feet above ground level
then to forward flight. When ready for market, the CyberScout
should weigh approximately 80 pounds with a camera, a standard
flight autopilot with an autonomous flight system, and hold
a five-pound payload pod, which can be rapidly field-configured
with a wide array of cameras, sensors, weapons, and instruments.
Jim Alman, President Cyber Defense Systems
states, "The CyberScout is one of the best handling aircraft
that we have ever flown. No bad tendencies were observed at
all during flight. Prior to the test, the decision was made
to operate the vehicle manually without the autopilot in forward
flight. The vehicle was flown in a figure eight circuit to
verify control response and effectiveness. Confident, we will
now move forward to the next phase of the project, which involves
use of higher thrust turbine power plants."
Billy Robinson, CEO Cyber Defense Systems
comments, "To go from concept to a fully operational
prototype in six months is a monumental achievement for a
small company like Cyber. A number of other groups have been
trying for years to achieve the same level of success we have
gotten in such a short term."
Cyber Defense Systems is an operating subsidiary
of Proxity, Inc. (Pink Sheets:PRXT) and has filed patents
with the United States Patent and Trademark Office to protect
CyberScout''s unique features.
