Mayman Aerospace will unveil a full-scale mannequin of Razor, its high-speed Air Utility Automobile, throughout SOF Week 2024, Could 6-10 in Tampa, Florida.
Razor is the identify for the army variant of the dual-use, jet-powered, high-speed vertical take-off and touchdown (HS-VTOL) automobile, from US-based producer Mayman Aerospace. Derived from the Speeder design, the scalable Razor plane shall be sized for payloads as much as 1,000lb. Prototypes are already beneath building for flight take a look at in Q3 this yr. The 100lb-payload Razor P100 is anticipated to fly first, and the 500lb-payload Razor P500 quickly after. Mayman Aerospace will showcase a full-scale Razor P100 mannequin throughout SOF Week 2024.
With greater than US$120 million in LOI commitments from prospects in Europe and Australia, plus US$3.25 million in US Division of Protection funding, Mayman Aerospace has been increasing its skilled engineering workforce whereas ramping up for flight testing.
Mayman Aerospace has additionally introduced growth of SkyField™, an AI-driven, autonomous Razor working surroundings engineered for seamless integration into current third-party battlefield administration techniques. SkyField will allow rapid, efficient Razor operations alongside current {hardware} and software program techniques, plus a simplified path to future functionality growth.
“We’re excited to additional outline and develop Razor and the SkyField working system as we work to carry the plane’s intensive capabilities to the warfighter. Razor is simply step one in creating the SkyField flight mesh. Alongside our Division of Protection colleagues, we’re realizing the total functionality unlocked by Razor’s distinctive design in fight eventualities, humanitarian and catastrophe aid operations, and coaching,” says David Mayman, CEO and founding father of Mayman Aerospace.
Razor fulfills disparate missions in an period the place real-world battlefield necessities are quickly evolving. The necessity for fight mass by way of a number of, extremely succesful, low-cost, and attritable platforms is quickly rising. Razor’s low value, jet velocity, and VTOL versatility make it uniquely appropriate for the next-generation battlespace.
Simply transported for mass launch within the subject, from ships, or the air, Razor could also be configured for contested logistics, armed with Hellfire or Brimstone missiles as a variety extender for precision assault, flown as a low-cost cruise missile, or outfitted with superior sensors for ISTAR, digital warfare, and the suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD). The plane can even be used as a high-speed, low-cost goal drone, requiring no particular launch infrastructure for air-to-air and air protection coaching.
Mayman Aerospace shall be within the BlackHays Group sales space #4802 within the JW Marriott Lodge Small Enterprise Convention Room
