(LAS VEGAS, NV, August 22, 2008) – AirScooter Corporation (OTC: ASCO), an innovator of new air vehicle technology and a modern sport aircraft engine announced today that an AirScooter II is now on permanent display at Disney Anaheim’s Tomorrowland. The futuristic personal air vehicle is located in the new Transportation of the Future exhibit in the remodeled Innoventions building.
“After months of preparation we are pleased that the AirScooter II prototype is now prominently displayed at Disneyland,” said Dwaine Barnes, president. “With over 14 million annual park visitors this display provides tremendous product and corporate exposure.”
The AirScooter-II personal air vehicle (“PAV”) is a simple and easy to fly coaxial rotor craft designed for recreational use. It employs simple ATV-style handlebar controls and is powered by the Company’s AeroTwin® four-stroke engine. While designed for recreational manned flight, AirScooter’s patented design has applications in manned and unmanned military and homeland security applications.
AirScooter’s wholly-owned subsidiary, AeroTwin Motors Corporation, manufactures a powerful lightweight sport aircraft engine. The patented AeroTwin® engine produces an efficient 65 hp at 4200 rpm, smooth/flat torque and quiet operation ideal for a wide range of sport vehicles. Now in production, engines have been sold and delivered in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand with interest from more than 45 countries worldwide. Early fight testing is validating AeroTwin’s four-stroke power solution for both new aircraft and to repower legacy two-stroke engine aircraft.
Mr. Barnes concluded, “While we are focusing our resources on engine production and marketing, we are evaluating options to improve the AirScooter PAV and produce it for the market. The selection of the AirScooter for long-term display at Disneyland is just another indicator of the compelling interest in personal recreational flight.”
