| Mundus Group Inc. announces breakthroughs in new VTOL folding wing design. The Mundus Group, Inc. with subsidiaries, Roadable Aircraft Int. (RAI) and Boehm Engineering, credit 3D analysis and virtual designs that model airflow optimization and stress analysis. Stateof- the-art Computational Fluid Dynamic software has developed over the 7 years since Mike Boehm joined RAI as Chief Design Engineer in 2001. “We began designing our US Navy co-developed patents in 2003 and since then, the design computations and analysis programs have continued to develop and currently allow advanced 3D design capabilities which accelerate the building of our entire vehicle. One part at a time”. “With what we have learned from our 2nd and 3rd prototypes and our UAV technology, we have made dramatic changes using our current 3D analysis of the specific lift characteristics and have added a folding wing and redesigned the aerodynamics and duct surfaces for optimization of thrust. We know that we can Vertically Take Off and Land, (VTOL) but now our focus is sustained flight without static thrust and the inherent VTOL fuel inefficiencies. It is also about safety. The wing we are developing will allow us to glide without power in the event of a failure in addition to the dual ballistic parachutes that are standard equipment”.
