Seahorse Air Limited
VTOL passenger aircraft services using patented Distributed Digital Displacement Hydraulic Propulsion Technology
VTOLs that can fly for hours
Seahorse Air Limited (SAL), a joint venture between Flowcopter (UK) and Evdron (UK). SAL is in the process of developing two VTOL aircrafts on one platform, to offer a global "micro-airline" service with a winged VTOL, the SH18LC which is efficient for long hauls and the other, SH14LC that is wingless and can efficiently serve short and medium haul commute, with an option of amphibious deployment as well.
​
The applications extend far beyond passenger transport, including air ambulance, air cargo delivery, search & rescue operations, and even joy rides.
Its VTOL capabilities allow for take-offs and landings with almost zero infrastructure—just a small deck, patch of land, or body of water is required. Powered by two sets of patented hydraulic propulsion systems, each powered by an IC engine, the aircrafts ensure a single engine failure redundancy amongst many other safety features.
SH18LC
A winged VTOL aircraft for long hauls with heavy payload capacity
Specifications: -Range: 3 hours, 600 km -Speed: 200 km/h -Max Take-Off Weight (MTOW): 2000 Kg -Payload Capacity: 650 Kg. Pilot plus 6 passengers plus check-in and cabin luggage -Toilet for long haul convenience -Lift Rotors: 8 sets of co-axial rotors (total 16 rotors) -Cruise Props: 2 sets of variable pitch props -Propulsion System: Patented hydraulic transmission technology -The aircraft uses 2 sets of this system in parallel, where each power-pack is connected either all the top or lower rotors -Safety: Can survive failure of any one of the two complete propulsion systems -Take-off/Landing: Capable from both land and water
SH14LC
A VTOL aircraft for medium and short hauls, with operational capability in adverse weather conditions and congested landing areas
Specifications: -Range: 3 hours, 450 km -Speed: 150 km/h -Max Take-Off Weight (MTOW): 1600 Kg -Payload Capacity: 550 Kg. Pilot plus 6 passengers plus check-in and cabin luggage -Lift Rotors: 6 sets of co-axial rotors (total 12 rotors) -Cruise Props: 2 sets of variable pitch props -Propulsion System: Patented hydraulic transmission technology -The aircraft uses 2 sets of this system in parallel, where each power-pack is connected either all the top or lower rotors -Safety: Can survive failure of any one of the two complete propulsion systems -Take-off/Landing: Capable from both land and be adapted for water/snow etc.
