Dean Bradley, the CEO of Quasar Aerospace Industries, Inc., reports the results of the meetings in Hamburg, Germany, February 16 through the 19th.
1. We made the decision that our first Proof of Concept aircraft will be
the Dornier 228 NG.
2. Extensive discussions were held regarding the use of the different
materials that would be used in the various components of the RAPT
system.
3. Elan/Edag brought in an expert on the certification of our RAPT
(Retractable Amphibious Pontoon Technology) system by EASA and a
protocol was established.
4. TFA Pty Ltd. and TFUSA Inc. jointly elected to send an RFP (Request for
Proposal) to four different qualified engineering firms soliciting bids.
One of these is in Germany and the remaining three are in the US.
We have given each firm two weeks to respond, at that time we will take a week to evaluate each, and a decision will be made on which firm to retain for the contract. It is estimated that the cost of said engineering will be in the vicinity of $5 million (US).
The engineering contract is expected to enable this joint venture to follow into full scale production. Tigerfish has established a retracting float concept that was granted a US patent in 2005. The Tigerfish system can be retrofitted to a wide range of aircraft including; regional airliners, utility aircraft, executive aircraft, UAVs, and military transports. When this venture reaches full-scale production and retrofitting, it will be done through a variety of facilities that will be established throughout the world with tentative arrangements in place for U.S., India, Australia and Germany.
