LOS ANGELES, July 13, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mundus Group, Inc. (PinkSheets:MNDP) announces UAV Drone subsidiary AirStar International has begun "In House" manufacturing of new Hyper-Lift rotor blade designs to improve efficiency by 66%.
After 25 years of UAV Drone manufacturing, AirStar International has designed a new composite rotor blade "ASI-1170 Blade" for its line of Unmanned Vertical Take Off and Landing Air Vehicles (UAV VTOL's) that promises to improve efficiency by 66%. Three more models each of different size are currently under design and will soon be ready for testing.
"The new AirStar Hyper-Lift-Blade design is a composite 'sandwich' style blade made from Fiberglass resin, Kevlar and Carbon Fibers laced crisscross in an 'X' pattern and fused together. AirStar has manufactured its own blades since 1989, but decided to use 3rd party vendors, since it was less expensive at that time. Recent research required a change of the current blades, and the manufacturers did not want to make changes, therefore we decided to go back and build them ourselves again. This will save considerable time and resources that will improve AirStar's over all production capabilities.
"We are very excited to be expanding our in house capabilities as we are cutting expenses and introducing a breakthrough in technology at the same time. Following years of experimenting, testing and design changes we finally came up with a much more efficient blade than we were able to buy from existing vendors. The new blades are currently manufactured in four different lengths, depending on the payload. The new Hyper-Lift X blades were tested on our standard AirStar Mongoose, and immediately we were able to increase the payload from 15lbs to 25lbs. Now we are designing a new frame and will use a higher-powered engine to test the increased efficiency of a full payload capacity," said Josef Joebstl, AirStar's CEO.
