Description
AEROVATION “THE ALIEN”
TWO-SEAT COAXIAL HELICOPTER PROTOTYPE
$100,000 OBO — MUST GO
U.S. BUYERS ONLY | LOCATED IN OHIO | IMMEDIATE SALE
A rare opportunity to acquire The Alien, a physical two-seat coaxial helicopter prototype developed through the Aerovation rotorcraft program.
Approximately $1 million was invested in the original development program, including engineering, design, fabrication and initial ground testing.
The Alien utilizes a distinctive coaxial counter-rotating rotor configuration and was developed by an experienced aerospace team led by engineer Ruslan Butumbayev.
Following Ruslan's unexpected passing, the development program was not continued and the aircraft has remained stored indoors. The decision has now been made to sell the prototype and place it with someone interested in taking the project forward.
THE AIRCRAFT
Two-Seat Coaxial Helicopter Prototype
• Physical prototype constructed
• Coaxial counter-rotating rotor configuration
• Initial ground testing performed
• Stored indoors
• Sold LESS ENGINE
• Located in Ohio
• Available for inspection by qualified prospective buyers
• Immediate transaction preferred
ASKING PRICE: $100,000 OBO
MUST GO — SERIOUS AND IMMEDIATE-CLOSE OFFERS ENCOURAGED
A UNIQUE DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY
The Alien may be of interest to an individual, company, university or development organization interested in continuing exploration of coaxial rotorcraft technology.
Potential future development paths could include:
• Experimental rotorcraft
• Agricultural UAV / aerial application platform
• Heavy-lift unmanned rotorcraft
• Autonomous cargo or utility aircraft
• Electric or hybrid-electric propulsion development
• Aerospace research and development
• University engineering and research programs
These are potential future development concepts only. The Alien is being offered as an experimental development prototype and is not represented as certified, airworthy, approved for flight, or validated for these potential applications.
ENGINEERING & DESIGN DATA
The sale being offered here is for The Alien physical prototype.
CAD files, engineering information, drawings, calculations, design documentation and other available technical information are NOT included in the $100,000 prototype sale.
Certain engineering and design materials may be available separately upon request.
Serious acquisition, licensing and development discussions regarding available technical information will be entertained separately.
WHY IT IS BEING SOLD
The Alien represents a substantial prior investment in engineering and prototype development. Following the unexpected loss of the project's lead engineer, the program did not move forward into its next development phase.
Rather than allow this unique aircraft to continue sitting in storage, the owner has decided that it is time for The Alien to find its next home.
Approximately $1 Million Invested in the Original Development Program
NOW OFFERED AT $100,000 OBO
U.S. DOMESTIC BUYERS ONLY - NO INTERNATIONAL TRANSACTIONS
The aircraft is located in Ohio and can be made available for inspection by qualified prospective buyers. There will need to be an agreed upon price and a
