The current trend in wind turbine design is to build ever-larger turbine units. The industry has demonstrated that building one larger turbine (7MW+) is more economical than building multiple smaller systems (2MW+) with an equivalent total power output. However, if larger-sized wind components are produced, the current transportation infrastructure (trucks, helicopters, ships, rail, etc.) would have extreme difficulty transporting them, because these vehicles are already experiencing problems delivering much smaller existing components. The Aeros Energy Division was created to address this current logistic problem by creating a new transportation solution called the Aeroscraft.
Aeros has started the development of producing larger 10MW wind turbines, and will utilize the Aeroscraft for its efficient transport. The Aeroscraft will be the only air cargo vehicle that can move oversized and heavy components like a sky crane, as well as deliver them to wind areas that are inaccessible today. The wind energy industry has improved its efficiency 40 percent in past five years, and the Aeroscraft can increase that to a greater level. The Aeroscraft will facilitate the logistic needs that are lacking in today`s transport vehicles, and will support both the renewable and transportation industries.
The Aeroscraft is a new type of air vehicle that is capable of moving and delivering larger wind units (or larger sized objects) with ease and efficiency. Alongside its goal to advance the wind energy industry, Aeros plans to support the oil and gas industries, by providing much needed transport to ecologically sensitive areas.
