Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. The patent-pending V-STAR ™ unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) offers next-generation solutions for frontline military logistics and related multi-role endurance missions. Providing commanders with a VTOL-Swift Tactical Aerial Resource ™ – V-STAR ™ provides vertical take-off and landing (VTOL), transitioning to fixed-wing flight and able to reach mission areas up to three times faster than helicopters. Dubbed the "HUMVEE of the air" ™, the vehicle's unique modular payload allows for rapid change-out in the field – one minute providing troops with ammo, food, water and fuel – and the next minute providing tactical reconnaissance, communications and close combat support. |

Rotorcraft Energy-Efficiency. All helicopter engines, such as the proven powerplants used in V-STAR ™, require increasingly precious fuel. Frontline's patent-pending MicroFire ™ gas turbine recuperator changes the game. MicroFire ™ uses advanced materials and heat-exchanger innovations to dramatically increase fuel-effiency and reduce carbon emissions for the proven Rolls-Royce Series 250 engine family. Originally developed to enhance V-STAR ™, the MicroFire ™ recuperator can achieve as much as 40 % increase in thermal efficiency and can upgrade Rolls-Royce Series 250 engines worldwide to achieve the first true "green" helicopter. |

FRONTLINE AEROSPACE UNVEILS "HUMVEE OF THE AIR"
Broomfield, CO – Frontline Aerospace, Inc., announced a breakthrough aircraft configuration code-named V-STAR ™ – an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) – and associated MicroFire ™ gas turbine fuel-efficiency technology.
"Our VTOL-Swift Tactical Aerial Resource ™ – or V-STAR ™ – is the 'HUMVEE of the air' and provides a breakthrough solution for frontline military logistics and related Multi-Role Endurance (MRE) missions," said Frontline founder and Chief Executive Officer Ryan S. Wood.
“With payload at the center-of-gravity, V-STAR ™ provides real mission flexibility,” he said, “since it can carry ISTAR (intelligence/surveillance/target acquisition/reconnaissance) packages or weapons – then morph back into its primary role providing frontline combat logistics.”
The modular payload approach allows for rapid change-out in the field – one minute providing troops with ammo, food, water and fuel – and the next minute providing tactical reconnaissance, communications and close combat support.
