NZ STEALTH HELICOPTER

NZ NEEDS INVENTORS: THERE OWN STEALTH HELICOPTER INVENTOR GETS REJECTED ON HIS EXPORTS PLANS TO WORLD MARKETS. KIWI ENGENUITY .......

The NZ inventor who tried to get a license to export his helicopters and was stopped. In Feb 2011 he was jailed for one month for withholding the designs of his company's unmanned military stealth helicopter.Trevor Vicemar Rogers' company TGR Helicorp Ltd went into receivership in February 2008 no fault of his just a system that is what NZ has become.[No doubt influenced by USA & others to stop this entreprenuer entering the military hardware business].

Now when is NZ going to wake up. The government needs to diverisify its exports from pastoral , they need to fill the coffers and they are losing kiwis to Australia in droves. They are looking at increasing maybe GST tax to 15% & their property houses are some of the most expensive in the western world due to valuations set by beauracratic councils who have no restraints . They could make munitions and airframes but when a guy like Trevor has an invention that can be used for not only practical purposes but also for saving climbers; other applications etc he is jailed for simply not disclosing his own private information to his receivers. Where is the justice in this as if it was my invention or your invention of this idea I am sure you would sooner go to jail then give the info to a Court & the receiver to pass on and copy & make the machines in another country & sell ?

We wish him luck and if he reads this article please write to us as we are only too happy to assist.

THE ALPINE WASP:

The helicopter, Alpine WASP tested in April 2007 in the Southern Alps of NZ and Mt. Everest i Nepal the mastermind Trevor Rogers, President of TGR Helicorp, which developed the Alpine Wasp, says the helicopter would be remotely controlled by a ground pilot using information provided by onboard cameras and laser ranging sensors. Developed as an unpiloted full-size alpine rescue helicopter; the Alpine Wasp, it is able to operate safely and autonomously at altitudes up to and beyond 30,000ft (over 9000m).

Each helicopter has six cameras on its fuselage and 10 on its nose – 5 looking forwards and 5 looking down. "The pilot sits in a virtual reality environment and could effectively be considered to be sitting astride the bulbous nose with a wide angle of view forward and down. Once a stranded climber has been located, the Alpine Wasp communicates with them using an 8.5-metre extendable proboscis with a camera and a small speaker attached to its end.

"The proboscis also has a Kevlar loop on the end capable of supporting any injured person. The operator extends the proboscis out to the climber using laser distancing equipment and, via the speaker, tells them to slip the Kevlar loop over his head and under his arms," Rogers said.

"After the climber has tightened a simple clamp around themselves, the helicopter can take off again. The weight of the climber detaches the loop from the pole and they swing below the craft, before being winched into a pod that closes behind them and provides oxygen and warmth," he said

.

According to Rogers, conventional helicopters struggle at altitudes above about 4300 m (14,100 ft), at which point normal engines suffer from a lack of oxygen and blades experience reduced lift in the rarefied air.

To counter this, the Alpine Wasp would have extra wide blades to provide more lift and an engine modified to cope with thinner air. "It will also spin its rotors at a lower speed than normal. This is to avoid the rotor blades breaking the sound barrier - which is lower at high altitudes. This could change the airflow and cause potentially catastrophic instability," said Rogers.

"Having to spin the blades slower to avoid the reduced speed of sound will also reduce lift. It's an interesting challenge to take on," he said.

NZ is a country thats green and needs new ideas to export to the world. Manufacturing is slowly being lost to Thailand & China & if they made other items like airframes or even munitions then they could get people back into employment. However the government stance is not to assist where munitions will kill unlike most other western countries who make weapons and sell on the world market. People like Trevor will now seek funding to make this machine and others in other parts of the world and maybe in Thailand under BOI??? assistance would help. NZ does not make any munitions at all & it seems their Foreign Affairs does not like the idea of making stealth helicopters that can not only bring badly needed funding into NZ but also offer NZders jobs they desperately need and a future. Unlike Thailand and Asia NZ has sold itself to overseas interests and now their property prices are some of the most expensive in the Western world. Not only that NZ must comply with what the big guys say. However New Zealand is a signatory to the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), which aims to stop proliferation of weapons of mass destruction so maybe this is the reason it was stopped in its tracks. MFAT denied approval to export the Snark to Pakistan and India because neither country is an MTCR member, nor have they subscribed to the Hague Code of Conduct Against Ballistic Missile Proliferation? These factors including that NZ is very concervative may have been the closing statements in this saga; not forgetting costs. Sad to see the Nark was no more.
