Tactical Tandem
Tethered Tandem currently involves cargo tethered to the harness of a Special Forces parachutist. Current U.S. capabilities are 650 lbs. total exit weight under a 420 sq. ft. parachute. Atair has extended this capability up to 1000 lbs. under a 350 sq. ft. parachute and 1200 lbs. under a 450 sq. ft. parachute. The inherent dangers involved in attaching such great weights to a parachutist are evident as the industry has quickly reached the limitations of current technology.

HAHO Pod
Atair Aerospace is pioneering a new approach of attaching heavy cargo to a specially designed roll cage, not to the parachutist. Both frame and parachutist have main and reserve parachutes. This technology makes HAHO jumps with cargo inherently safer and increases weight carrying capabilities to 2200 pounds.

Powered HAHO Pod
Adding a small 30 HP engine with propeller to the HAHO Pod adds additional strategic capabilities. The engine provides propulsion for extended and ascending flight. The system can take off again once landed, being airborne in 50-150 feet; a paved runway is not required.

Chimera™ Vehicles
The Chimera is the evolution of Atair's Powered HAHO Pod. It is a concept vehicle intended to test advanced concepts. The Chimera is an advanced air-droppable vehicle which transitions to a ground mobility vehicle once landed. The vehicle can take off again and fly after landing.
