AEROSCRAFT
 Aeros has pioneered the design,
development and assembly of high
technology airships that offer the
prospect of revolutionizing parts of
the global cargo and logistics
market
 The Aeroscraft is designed to carry
up to 250 tons of cargo, features a
cargo hold with cubic footage
exceeding 40 times that of a 747-8
Freighter, cruises at speeds of over
100 mph, operates at altitudes of
up to 12,000 feet and achieve
vertical take-off and landing at max
payload

TRANSFORMING GLOBAL LOGISTICS
AEROSCRAFT IS A UNIQUE VEHICLE WHICH WILL PROVIDE AN UNPRECEDENTED STRATEGIC ADVANTAGE
Game Changing Logistics Solutions
The Aeroscraft Prototype
 New vertical global transportation system
without restrictions
 Delivery of cargo to any point on the globe
 The ability to move greater weights and
higher volumes – 250 tons and one million
cubic feet
 Vertical take-off and landing (“VTOL”)
capabilities reduces infrastructure
dependency (airports, etc.)
 Provides access to remote and austere
locations that other transport carriers
cannot provide
The Aeroscraft will rapidly become a
meaningful player in the $6 TRILLION
global logistics market*
 Airlifts standard ISO containers

SIMPLIFYING THE LOGISTICS SUPPLY CHAIN
 Point-to-point single mode transportation network, taking the “chain” out of supply chain
 Reduces loss factor of perishables and consumer goods due to delivery delays
 Able to transport large equipment in an efficient, cost effective manner with no infrastructure

REDUCED OPERATING & SUSTAINING COSTS
 Compared to conventional airplanes, the Aeroscraft does not burn fuel to create lifting power –
only to propel itself forward
 Diesel-powered generators produce electricity to drive electric motors (propellers)
 Reduced fuel consumption compared to other modes of air transportation
 Approximately 68% less carbon emissions per ton-mile than a Boeing 747
 Creates less noise pollution
— Take-off for an Aeroscraft is approximately 60-65 decibels, versus 130-150 decibels for a
Boeing 747

AEROSCRAFT - UNIQUE ATTRIBUTES
VTOL and
Infrastructure
Independence
Cargo Bay
Cargo
Handling
System
 Capable of VTOL operations at full payload, rendering various infrastructure
unnecessary
 The Aeroscraft’s weight payload and the dimensions of the cargo bay will lead the
way to transport oversize or low density cargo via air
 No ground loading or unloading equipment required at departure or landing points
 ISO Containers will be shipped via Aeroscraft and avoid port and terminal bottlenecks
Speed
 Cruising speed of approximately 115 mph
Range
 Up to 3,100 nautical miles for the ML866; 5,100 nautical miles for the ML868
Fuel
 Energy requirements and costs are approximately a third of traditional aircraft
costs
Maintenance
 Maintenance of the vehicle will be easier and less expensive than traditional aircraft
No “pressurization cycles” leads to a longer useful life

CARGO BAY SIZE
THE AEROSCRAFT’S OUTSIZED CARGO BAY CREATES MANY PREVIOUSLY UNFATHOMABLE
OPPORTUNITIES IN THE OVERSIZE AND CONVENTIONAL CARGO MARKET
 The largest cargo aircrafts remain size-limited, leading to the necessary disassembly of large
equipment shipments; in some cases, this even prevents firms from producing larger and better
equipment due to the lack of economical, swift transport options
 The Aeroscraft will offer a barge-like payload with aircraft range, helicopter speed and VTOL
capability

ML868: 250-ton Payload

Market
The Aeroscraft Solution
 Infrastructure independence will substantially
 Infrastructure limitations prohibit delivery either
increase the size of the market
indefinitely or until time consuming and expensive
 Multimodal logistics too costly and time intensive
 Inability to transport certain oversized cargo
results in partial manufactured products and
assembly at final destination
 Ability to bypass multimodal logistics through
direct delivery
 Oversized cargo bay allows transport of
products previously not transportable
