Mayman Aerospace Demos Autonomous Turbine VTOL Flight Tests

DoD and UAE Backed Company Makes Significant Progress

Mayman Aerospace announced the successful demonstraion of flight tests of its RAZOR VTOL test bed vehicle at a military facility in Southern California.

The RAZOR VTOL incorporates the same propulsion, engine gimbaling, thrust vectoring, and flight control technologies as the RAZOR P100. Mayman is supported by both the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and the Edge Group/SDF based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The flight tests validated key systems including avionics, thrust vectoring, flight control laws, software, and command and control (C2) mechanisms. A significant aspect of this series focused on transitioning from hover to high-speed winged flight. The tests also confirmed successful autonomous take-offs and landings.

RAZOR is launched vertically with no need for specialized infrastructure or launch system and can perform as a platform for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), target designator, and missile delivery. The agile AI-driven C2/C3 systems guarantees accurate payload delivery at a fraction of conventional costs. It can transition to winged flight and at speeds of up to 500 mph. RAZOR can also extend the range of small air-to-air or air-to-surface missiles such as Brinstone and Hellfire, enabling precisions strikes beyond 200 miles.

David Mayman, Founder and CEO of Mayman Aerospace stated, "Our recent flight tests were a complete success, and we anticipate the P100 will surpass speeds of 450 knots. As a multi-role, dual-use technology, RAZOR is redefining the perspectives of defense commanders and civilian leaders regarding autonomous VTOL applications. We are a software-driven hardware company, and our team is achieving performance levels previously thought unattainable."
