“We are continually looking to expand our reach and training capabilities to meet the needs of our customers,” said Ray Lamas, general
manager of Global Customer
Training. “This is the result of listening to our customers and continued focus on global growth.”
The BTA also has a comprehensive collection of helicopter maintenance training devices that give students the opportunity to enhance their classroom knowledge with hands-on application. Earlier this year, Bell Helicopter announced the expansion of maintenance training offerings at the Singapore Service Center to include the Bell 206 and Bell 412 maintenance training aircraft.
Precision’s aircraft will be equipped for daylight video imaging with a new- generation turret from Alticam Vision that builds upon more than a decade of experience in small unmanned aircraft. Planned deployments include reconnaissance over the Arctic Ocean, where vast distances and long summer days will allow Flexrotor’s extraordinary

endurance to be used to full advantage.
The aircraft will also be fitted with Aerovel’s newly introduced Rutger Legs, which transform from a rear fuselage and are aerodynamically refined for wing- borne flight into a legged undercarriage for VTOL. This can even be executed in a small clearing with no ground support. Flexrotor’s footprint is small, and its basing flexibility is unprecedented for a long-range aircraft.
Tad McGeer of Aerovel said, “Our two companies share the goal of making civil applications economic, and now we are going to put our ideas into service. We have an aircraft and an organization that can blaze a trail, and we can follow it with something much better as we gain experience together with our customers.”
Oregon’s Precision Integrated Programs Becomes Launch Customer for Aerovel’s Flexrotor
Precision Integrated Programs of Newberg, Oregon, ended 2014 by placing a launch order for Flexrotor, Aerovel’s exceptional long-endurance VTOL UAV. Delivery of aircraft and support equipment is scheduled for spring 2015.
Precision’s Matt Parker explained, “We are going after new civil applications at sea and on land which require big improvements over existing aircraft in economics, footprint, and
endurance. Flexrotor provides the quantum leap in the state of the art that can
