Global Intel Hub — Auckland, New Zealand — 10/17/2023 — Every industry rises and goes parabolic, but aerospace development seemed to stop around 1960. Most helicopters and airplanes flying today, were using technology from the 1950s. Whatever is the reason for this, some pilots have looked at this from a practical perspective, and designed their own high-tech models. New Zealand Helicopter Pilot Peter Maloney has done just that. He has built a prototype Helicopter which is much safer than a metal frame, using a strong but light Kevlar based composite.
The best part about this lightweight and safe design is that it is easier to run it as an EV as opposed to gasoline. This isn’t just fantasy, he built a prototype and survived a direct crash hit to the ground, watch in this video compilation:
Manufacturing is expensive, and he needs $30m to certify and build these flying machines, so he turned to Venture Capital Cross – a broker dealer with a focus on advanced, paradigm shift, disruptive technology. Currently they are doing a Crowdfunding campaign for Gab, a Free Speech platform (which is really the only platform out there dedicated to Free Speech).
New Zealand is known as the “Innovation Nation” for Marine technology, including for sailboats, water propulsion, and other sea technologies:
Innovative Kiwi companies like Hamilton Jet, Marine Flex, Sealegs and Stabicraft have been at the forefront of technological advancements in the marine industry for decades. In the 1950s, Sir William Hamilton of Hamilton Jet was a pioneer in waterjet propulsion. Paul Adams and Bruce Dickens of Stabicraft built the first rigid hulled aluminum chambered boat in 1987. Marine Flex is the industry leader in screw anchoring systems and elastic moorings, and Sealegs is known around the world for its patented amphibious vessels.
One of the most flown vehicles in the skies is the Boeing 737, which made its first flight April 9, 1967 and the most successful light helicopter first flew on December 8th 1962 and its technology is still manufactured to this day as the Bell 407. The aviation industry across the board is in major need of a technological upgrade. This project is a great step in that direction.
Russian – US Immigrant Igor Sikorsky developed Helicopter designs that are used in a vast number of Helicopters flying today. His first design was in 1909, at a time before we had General Relativity, and no internet. Since 2006, when the IHST cooperative effort was formed, the average number of annual civil helicopter accidents worldwide has been 515 and the average is trending downward at an annual rate of about 2 percent.

According to Green Matters, as of 2016, helicopters were a significant source of lead emissions in the U.S., surpassing cars due to upgrades in automobile engines. However, efforts to reduce these emissions are ongoing. Airbus, for example, has been actively working on decarbonizing helicopters. [2] Generally recognized that helicopters and narrow body jets have about 1 million parts represented by about 250,000 skus.
Considering all these inefficiencies, it’s about time someone built a design like this. The body technology is patented, and ready to build.
