Yoshine Taking Orders for Coaxial Drive System (CDS)

As requested by many who wish to develop their own personal coaxial VTOL air vehicle, i.e., personal coaxial helicopters, with their own chosen engines (single engines or double engines up to a total of 120 usefuel hp) and their own designed airframe (single seat, double seats - side by side or tandem, up to a total takeoff weight of 450kgs.), after due consideration and in compliance with the FAA FAR regulation 21.191(g)that defines a home or amateur-built aircraft is that....."the majority portion (of an aircraft) is fabricated and assembled....for education or recreation purpose...", it is decided that the CDS be offered as an independent item to those who wish to fabricate and develop their own air vehicles with their own chosen engine (2-stroke, 4-stroke, rotary, or turbine) package. With the CDS, it is possible to develop a very light personal coaxial air vehicle of ones own design, so long as it meets the FAA statement for educational and recreational purpose.

This is a decision taken due to numerous personal preference requests as to the use of engine types, airframe styling, and other considerations, such as pricing and delivery time.

We believe that there are many around the world who can utilize the CDS to design and build their own coaxial VTOL air vehicle that would be beneficial to us all.

If you are interested, please go to the HOME page of this website and enter your e-mail address at the lower right hand corner and hit GO and choose to indicate your interest to purchase a CDS. No obligation to purchase now. You will be notified to confirm purchase.

EzyCopter to Test with H32 Engines

The EzyCopter development has progressed with buildup of quality CNC machined precision parts and components. 2" steel tubings have been fabricated also for examination of size fitting purposes.
(Please visit www.yoshine.com.tw/parts.htm)

As we have not been confirmed with the rotory engine delivery, a small purpose designed and built engine for light helicopters has been recommended. This engine produces 65hp at 31kgs (68 lbs.) of weight and is manufactured by one of the oldest small aircraft engine producers in Germany - the Hirth Motor Company. We have ordered and will be testing this engine and will make reports accordingly. As our flying prototype used also two engines powered by Hirth, we are confident this engine will prove to also provide optimum performance. This engine is designated as the H32 with multi-point fuel injection, constant revolution, and rated 500 hours TBO durability.

EzyCopter to Test with XR40 Rotary Engines

The EzyCopter development has been progressing well with first ten kits being committed and manufactured.
(Please visit www.yoshine.com.tw/parts.htm)

Over the past several months various type engines have been tested resulting in some delays. We, now, have tested and we are utilizing an engine which gives optimum performance. It is a Wankel type rotary engine - operates on four strokes and runs like a small turbine. It’s light weight; power output; and durability makes it ideally suited, for UL helicopter operations.

Developing a new two seat coaxial helicopter requires considerable time and resources. Please bear with us for a while longer and keep in touch.

It remains our commitment, here at Yoshine Helicopters, to make the EzyCopter an air vehicle "you will be proud to fly".
---------------------------------------------------------------------

On January 24, 2005, at the home base of The Yoshine Helicopter Company in Taichung, Taiwan, a most significant event in the evolution of the helicopter industry occurred. Just one month after starting its engines for the first time - the world’s first coaxial VTOL personal air vehicle, the EzyCopter, made it’s maiden flight.

Charles Lin, Yoshine’s President/CEO, commented that this testing of the unmanned version of EzyCopter came off "without a glitch". Lin said further testing would be scheduled in coming weeks and that continued successes keeps us on the "glide path" of initiating first line production in 2005 as forecast.

A larger production facility has been underway in Taichung since mid 2004 and is expected to be completed in 2005 to handle production requirements.

Yoshine officials are quick to note that in testing the UAV version several things could be accomplished. First and foremost, safety features of the aircraft could be more fully tested.

Additionally, more complete computer generated records become readily available for complete and total flight data analysis.

Perhaps, of equal importance, is that by testing the unmanned version first has enabled us to better demonstrate the relative ease of piloting the EzyCopter. It has been demonstrated that EzyCotper is perhaps the first and only VTOL UAV that doesn’t need any expensive stabilizing gyro sensors as required by other VTOL UAVs and RC helicopters.

Lin concludes, "we look, with great anticipation, to our next round of flight-testing scheduled. We will keep our investors; members of the EzyCopter Club; and other interested parties informed as to progress."

Yoshine Helicopters Inc., has announced to introduce a new generation of coaxial personal helicopters dubbed the EzyCopter.

Personal helicopters has long been dreamed and envisioned since the sixteen century when Da Vinci first introduced a screw spiral-flying concept for a personal Vertical Take Off & Landing (VTOL) machine.

But after 400 years, the dream for personal VTOL flight is still a dream. The EzyCopter is intended as a new step toward fulfilling this dream of personal VTOL flight, in addition to its usefulness for agricultural, industrial, police, and military applications.

Many factors in technical advances in the last 50 years for small helicopter technology have been consolidated and built into the structure making the human crave for personal VTOL flight a reality.

The EzyCopter is the world’s first coaxial helicopter with twin engines and four blades. Coaxial is for ease and torque-free precision flight control without tail rotors. Twin engines are for flight safety and noise reduction, and four blades enable short ones and slower rotation intended for power savings and further noise reduction.

These distinctive features make the EzyCopter very light in weight, and can be more easily assembled as more than 50% of the traditional parts required to build a conventional helicopter have been eliminated.

Yet, what is appreciated most is its elimination of an anti-torque device that rubs engine power and makes helicopter flying a very difficult task to learn.

The anti-torque tail rotor of a helicopter requires full and total attention of the pilot with complete coordination of the body, hands, and feet…to balance and hover a helicopter.

To learn to balance the anti-torque device of a helicopter is really an amazing feat. It has failed many people learning to fly a helicopter. See how many more fixed-wing pilots as compared to helicopter pilots.

But flying with a coaxial helicopter, the scenario will be totally different…There is no anti-torque device one has to learn…There is no tail rotor to worry about colliding with trees, buildings, or any other objects With a coaxial helicopter, one only has to learn to take off and land vertically by moving the throttle stick up and down, and fly forward, backward, or side ways, by moving the joy stick in that direction. Flying an EzyCopter is also an easy task totally different from flying a conventional helicopter.

The EzyCopter would be capable of performing animal mustering, agricultural inspection, grape vine drying, power line inspection, coast line patrolling, in addition to the fun of flying a coaxial helicopter with powerful lift with four rotor blades. Precise flight control and maneuvering are also possible with the Ezycopter, thanks to the Yoshine YX-24 advanced coaxial swashplate design for dedicate collective and cyclic input control…a great potential for military or police operations.

An added benefit of an EzyCopter would be an educational experience. It will help all levels of students and all mechanics and pilots understand coaxial helicopter basics as a tool for VTOL flight.

EzyCopter parts and components are also made easy for assembly…and building an EzyCopter would be a breeze as more than 50% of the conventional helicopter parts are no longer needed - no tail rotor, no tail rotor shaft, no tail rotor gearbox, not tail rotor blades. In fact, no tail rotor, nor all its associated parts, moving and non-moving, are needed any more! And since there is no tail rotor, there is no more tail rotor danger threatening the pilots, and no more tail rotor noise deafening the neighborhood.

According to the President and CEO, Charles Lin, the new coaxial EzyCopter will be the most affordable helicopter of its kind on the market and that a new personal coaxial helicopter industry will be created, “Ezycopter Showroom” will be set up around the world, changing and providing the way people shop for their personal helicopters – at their local helicopter stores. Dream for personal vertical flight accessible to all from or near home will finally become a reality!
