VERTICAL  TAKE-OFF  AND  LANDING RESCUE  AND  MAINTENANCE  AERIAL PLATFORMS


DM  AeroPlatforms  Ltd.  a new private company  is established by     Dr. David Metreveli  for a further development and management of his new High-Rise Rescue and Maintenance Technology via VTOL Flying Platforms. (Click on images to go to our new site).

Dr. David Metreveli  has developed a totally new high-rise rescue technology to retrieve trapped people from areas which cannot be reached by conventional aerial ladder, conventional helicopter or a helicopter equipped with a Heli-Basket in a case of different natural or man-made disasters.


OTHER POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS

This technology could give rise to a new class of air transportation means, used for safe close-in maneuvering around tall structures, even inside the highly populated areas.

The following is a list of possible applications (other than high-rise rescue mission) for proposed multipurpose VTOL platforms.


Municipal Services:

- High-rise Aerial Rescue;
- Aerial ambulance ;
- Real-time video imaging for monitoring of bridges, skyscrapers, television tower constructions, smokestacks and other high-rise structure sites;
- Monitoring and surveillance: traffic, chase and other.


Commercial Services:

- High-rise buildings washing, cleaning and painting;
- Powerlines construction, patrol and service;
- Aerial Construction;
- Equipment and materials aerial moving;
- Rooftop placement;
- Forestry and logging;
- Personal air transportation means;
- Sky diving.

Special and Military Services:

- Special anti-terrorist operations
- Water rescue operations (Offshore Drilling Platform fires, floods, ship sinking);
- Mountain rescue operations (skiers, alpinists and etc. search and rescue);
- Various military applications, including different military payloads and troops transportation operations;
- Armor protected version for troop carrying missions into and out of confined battle zones, where physical constraints and various obstructions prevent the use of helicopter.

        HIGH - RISE RESCUE MISSION

The proposed EAGLE Vertical Take-off and Landing Aerial Rescue Platform is developed with aim to rescue up to 25 people at a time by approach and direct moor to any level of a high-rise building or structure in the case of a different natural or man-made disasters.

The proposed rescue vehicle can access all narrow canyons, city streets, smokestacks, bridges, television and other tower constructions.

EAGLE can also be equipped with floats for a different water rescue operations.




Most High-Rise Buildings or structures in North America have no roof access. And most helicopters have no a Rescue Hoist. Besides these facts, helicopter rescue is not feasible during many High-Rise fires because of flames, smoke or roof obstructions.


Parked cars can often make it difficult or impossible for the Aerial Ladder to reach the building.
