Breakthrough Aviation & Energy Concepts
Frontline Aerospace, Inc., is a privately-held corporation based near Denver, Colorado, with marketing offices near Washington, DC focusing business and aerospace expertise on breakthrough aviation and energy concepts. Frontline has announced two initiatives:
V-STAR™
VTOL-Swift Tactical Aerial Resource
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.
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 ramatically increase fuel-effiency 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.
