Carter Aviation Technologies, LLC is a Wichita Falls,Texas based aerospace research and development firm that has developed and demonstrated its Slowed Rotor/Compound (SR/C~(?)) Technology. SR/C? Technology couples the speed, range and efficiency of an airplane with the vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capability of a helicopter. At its core, SR/C? Technology represents the simple yet elegant hybridization of airplanes and rotorcraft through remarkable innovations in engineering design. SR/C? aircraft are essentially fixed-wing aircraft that utilize a very simple rotor as an extremely efficient high-lift device for vertical through intermediate-speed flight. During high-speed flight, Carter Aviation is able to make the rotor all but disappear (from a drag standpoint) by slowing it down. Carter Aviation's technical achievements have been independently verified by NASA, the U.S. Army, and Georgia Institute of Technology.
