What Helicopter design of Indian which failed to materialize can teach us
Personal Single Helicopter Design by Aniel Misier
As the Maertens Roger Dutchman pointed out correctly:Unfortunately again one of those concepts that one tries to realize with a lot of money and little knowledge although Mr. Misier's ''personal mission is to help other people to be free and live independantly. I want to achieve this by developing amazing technical solutions that can be used'' he seemed to fail miserably.
Maertens Roger: Hiller steering rotors are old fashion and completely out of date. The horizontal and vertical resistance (drag) of the design is impermissibly high.
The design is unstable at considerable forward speed. The distance between the two rotors is too small. You do not realize what you write that the device has 180 km / h as cruising speed.
Your concept bears witness to on-realism, fed by design dreams and a very large lack of technical, aerodynamic and helicopter knowledge.
Hiller stuur-rotoren zijn old fashion en volledig achterhaald.
De horizontale en verticale weerstand (drag) van het design is ontoelaatbaar hoog.
Het design is onstabiel bij aanzienlijke voorwaartse snelheid.
De afstand tussen de twee rotoren is te klein.
U beseft niet wat u schrijft dat het toestel 180 km/h als kruissnelheid heeft.
Uw concept getuigd van on-realisme, gevoed door design dromen en een zeer groot gebrek aan technische, aerodynamische en helikopter kennis.
Helaas weer één van die concepten die men probeert te realiseren met veel geld en weinig kennis.
Developing an a new awesome, affordable, comfortable, and incredibly efficient all at the same type personal Helicopter for leisure and security services.
Always dreamt about your own helicopter? Now it’s there! Yes we're building an helicopter which is sustainable, small and on top affordable for every one! And no we’re not a large airline manufacture but just a group of enthusiastic people making your dreams come true. Get the freedom to travel and fly anywhere with your own personal helicopter!
The PSH-M1 (Personal Single Helicopter) will not only be awesome, comfortable, and incredibly efficient all at the same time but also affordable and requires just a few hours of flight training.
We spoke a dozen of people and lots of them simply didn’t believe that it’s actual possible to develop such an aircraft with all these features. But by the simple principle that strength, power and beauty (and some sharp minds of course :) ) can be combined we managed to create this and we call it the PSH-M1.The PSH-M1 will not be available in the future, but it’s bringing the future now.
Join us to become part of an new generation of surrendering the sky and make history!
PSH-M1: Bringing the future of aviation towards great heights.
We are convinced that this century everyone will have newer and faster options to travelwhere they want, when they want, and how they want. The PSH-M1 is not only quit and more safer than present vehicles, but it also gets you rid of extremely expansive airline tickets by letting you enjoy the freedom of flying anywhere and anytime you decide!
We can't deny that present aircraft equipment and airplanes are usefull, offers a great way to travel and are a lot of fun to fly! But on the other hand they are expensive, noisy, environment unfriendly and most of all and crowdie to flight with.
PSH-M1 helicopter fulfilling all future demands
PSH-M1 offers everything a modern traveler demand for and even more than that. It also provides:
A personal cabin with sufficient room
Separate luggage store space
Easy operation
Greatly reduced travel time
True passenger safety
Far lower price
Electric, quit and friendly
Remote controled possibility
Simply fly it by using your IPad!
The PSH-M1 is the result of all of it. We deliver not only that but much more through innovative solutions that work in greater harmony and takes care of a smooth flight.
The PSH-M1 does not only offers fast, fun, direct transportation (in comfort above the weather) but also greater range and the ability to land at safer, clean energy use and adjustable speeds up to 100 m P/h for almost every circumstance!
How does it work?
It's Lighter, simpler, and has a more economical usage. The strongest and best aircraft material (also used by the NASA) delivering a light and easy to steer aircraft resulting in a lighter, simpler and more beneficial way of flying.
How far are we now?
We're building the real thing, using the expert craftsmanship of different people bound by passion to deliver the best helicopter ever designed, a clear design, carbon fiber composites, RC helicopter material, powerful remote engineering software and volunteers from the aircraft industry. With lots of years of experience and knowledge of aircraft design these experts and passionate group of people joined forces to create a highly innovative singe person helicopter ever made! First we are building a scale model and a real working prototype, to prove the design concept. After finishing the results will be discussed with the different Manufactures who are involved in the project and will increase the feasibility of the project.
Why Indiegogo? :-)
Our project has the same challenges and structure as other technology project(s) you might already have seen before on Indiegogo or else ware. First a concept is defined, a prototype is developed and afterwards the final product is manufactured. At this stage we already have a concept with the right amount of research conducted to ensure that our aircraft meets the technical and functional demands set by aviation authorities in the Netherlands. Now we’re working on developing a scale model and a real prototype. As you may know most things are not for free in life and we need an initial amount of money to start developing and testing our concept in the form a prototype. That’s where Indiegogo comes in. We need your help to further develop a scale model and the prototype. We foresee lots of opportunities for selling our aircraft but we need to develop these two things first (e.g. Police departments, leisure and transport companies).
So we have a funding goal and we need your help to get the necessary funding. In exchange for your contribution pledges we offer corresponding rewards. If we don't reach our goal, we get nothing and your pledges are not collected. Some Indiegogo campaigns generate many times their project goal by being timely, worthy, and relevant. We sincerely hope to do the same. Our minimum goal only completes the phase (design, scalemodeling and prototype) of our project. Greater funding will lead to faster results and of course the availability of the PSH-M1 in your city and at your place! Every Euro we raise will be used to improve the design, finalize the prototype and advances us that much farther into completion the aircraft. We will use the money e.g. to develop a customized framework, carbon components and the unique electric motor management system, and control systems which are innovative and ready for the future.
Most people, are not convinced yet about our innovative and simple design to successfully evaluate the possibilities of the PSH-M1 aircraft without flight test results, which is what we want to give them. Wind tunnels and even software simulators don't really cut it at this level. So we need to show what the model looks like and show the flight capabilities. The shape and characters of the PSH-M1 aircraft exceed all expectations and even beyond that.
Is it really all that different from other designs?
Yes, it is. The PSH-M1 is a leap forward! All true progress strains against convention though, and there is a lot to discover here. Besides creating 'stability and remote controling through the use of joysticks', the PSH-M1 is simple to fly with! You even can fly it by using your own Ipad!
What do we hope to accomplish with our unique design?
To erase the artificial limits that makes Helicopter aircrafts expensive, uncomfortable, and unwelcome. The practical, 1-seat prototype is designed to demonstrate stellar performance for this configuration, by way of professional flight testing at full scale, and to be produce able in volume at incredible low cost.
An excited public and buyers already awaits the first delivery of the PSH-M1. Our 20% scale model we’re currently working one 'lit the fuse', enthusiasts from averywhere (even in South America and Australia) already want us to finish the real thing. Now! Construction is well underway, but
We need your help to reach the finish line.
What does my backing pay for?
Your support helps provide component design and systems engineering, specialized contract labor, tooling, equipment, and materials. This a pioneering effort that deserves our full time focus. It's important that we set achievable targets and keep making progress on a project of this scope.
Our modest original goal supplies our minimum needs, which is to maintain present work output until our next milestone is reached in September. By then we expect to have completion in sight and enough momentum to fund the last push. The next milestone puts us 'on the wheels' and 'powered up', even if the total raised by this campaign doesn't cover all the remaining costs. Further we have to complete the entire project in less than a year to maintain our preferred timeline.
We need your help! The power of Indiegogo is to birth great projects. Your passion and beyond 'project life support' will not only stabilize and accelerate our schedule; it could help nudge an new promising industry in the future.
Our informal, goal is set at €150,000. Additional financial support will be taken care of if necessary by large investors. But it might just be enough to get us airborne and already reach for the sky!
Obviously, getting from 'a project in our garage' to a finished one in your hangar involves serious business development and thousands of investment dollars. This is not about that just yet. We believe that further success is achieved through diligence, integrity, capital, and teamwork, one well-planned step at a time. When we've proven our premise, the industry will be as close to cranking out PSH-M1 as we've come from our first napkin sketch.
By backing our project through its most vulnerable phase, you're filling the gap between concept and reality of a new promising type of aircrafts.
What You Get
Every Euro we'll receive will be totally spend to achieve our goals and ensure a quick development and manufacturing proces. You can help us by spreading the rumor and share it will everyone!
We will return the favor and share our success with you! The perks table shows what we will return you for your pledges.
We will be very gratefull for any kind of your support!

CAPELLE AAN DEN IJSSEL – Nederlandse initiatiefnemers willen binnen afzienbare tijd een nieuwe lichte eenpersoons helikopter op de markt gaan brengen, de PSH-M1. Een deel van de fondsen die voor de ontwikkeling en bouw ervan benodigd zijn, wil men binnen gaan halen via ‘crowd funding’.
De nieuwe eenmotorige helikopter, de Personal Single Helicopter M1 (PSH-M1), moet twee contraroterende hoofdrotors krijgen. Volgens de initiatiefnemers zal de helikopter door een elektromotor worden aangedreven en kruissnelheden gaan halen tot 180 kilometer per uur. Het toestel zal met hulp van een iPad (en eventueel) op afstand bestuurd kunnen worden. Bagage kan daarbij in een aparte ruimte worden meegenomen.
De initiatiefnemers beschikken niet alleen over een concept en een ontwerp, maar beginnen tevens met de bouw van een schaalmodel. In mei zal begonnen worden met de bouw van een prototype om de haalbaarheid van het concept aan financiers te kunnen tonen. De groep laat zich bij de realisatie van het project adviseren door deskundigen op het gebied van helikoptermodelbouw, een adviseur van het PALV-project en luchtvaartadviesbureau ADSE.
Op een speciale website kunnen particulieren en bedrijven kiezen uit meerdere sponsorpakketten. Gemikt wordt daarbij op het binnenhalen van een bedrag van honderdvijftigduizend euro.
