Carter Aviation Technologies is a research and development company, pioneering new aviation concepts. Our primary focus is the slowed-rotor compound aircraft, a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft that uses the rotor for takeoff and landing, and a small, efficient wing for high speed flight, up to 500 mph, all with much less complexity than a tilt-rotor or other vectored thrust vehicle. We have been flying the CarterCopter Technology Demonstrator (CCTD) since 1998, developing and demonstrating the slowed rotor concept, as well as our other technologies.
