Breakthrough Aviation & Energy Concepts

Frontline Aerospace, Inc. was established in 2007 to design, develop and sell aeronautic and related energy-efficiency systems that deliver novel solutions to military and commercial problems. The company has developed two breakthrough innovations—MicroFire™ and V-STAR™.

We offer a family of gas turbine recuperators, a type of heat-exchanger whose use in turbo shaft turbines enables significant fuel savings and emission reduction creating a "green" helicopter. Increased thermal efficiency from the patent-pending MicroFire™ recuperator and IsoCool™ compressor technology improves fuel consumption by as much as 40% and power by 15%. This fuel savings dramatically increases endurance for both commercial and military missions, yet the core financial driver is straight investment break-even of 2-3 years at current energy prices.




MicroFire™ Gas Turbine Recuperator. 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-efficiency and reduce carbon emissions for the proven Rolls-Royce Series 250 engine family. Originally developed to enhance V-STAR™, the breakthrough 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.

V-STAR™ 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. V-STAR™ – or VTOL-Swift Tactical Aerial Resource™ – provides commanders with a vertical-take-off-and-landing (VTOL) aircraft that transitions to fixed-wing flight in order to reach mission areas up to three times faster than helicopters. Plus, 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.
