The Share Offer and Basis of Valuation.
• The company has been 14msspun out of the ABBS Group due100ms
to the huge potential of the
specialist niche of Active VTOL Crash Prevention that has been identified for it, and
the potential for a major VC or aerospace industry deal in the fairly short term.
• It has the benefit of over £3million past investment by ABBS and ARMS in
developing the patented Linear Rocket Motors (LRM™), Safe/Arm techniques, and
completing the initial Proof-of-Concept testing in an Innovate UK supported project.
• The relevant ARMS patents have been licensed to AVCP.
• If granted, the company
Motor will own potentially important
100ms new patents for rapid
400ms
expansion of the parachute by using airbags, adjustable thrust CO2-injected LRM’s,
Inactive
and other novel features, and thus have the exclusive rights to exploit the many
other potential applications for these technology.
• Initial investment of £300,000 has been obtained last year at a company valuation
of £3million, mostly from current ABBS Group HNW investors.
• Now raising £700,000 for 14% post investment (£5million valuation) and pursuing a
further £5million investment probably in a US spin-off, from a VC, a major
aerospace/avionics company, or a US-based eVTOL consortium.

IN CONFIDENCE 11What is the eVTOL Market Potential?
14ms 100ms
• Uber, Airbus, Bell and Boeing all agree on the potential
demand for eVTOL aircraft just for the Urban Air Taxi market.
• The rationale is that every major city will need 5,000 eVTOL
taxis.
• There are 40 cities with populations over 10million people,
where ground traffic congestion is increasing.
Motor 100ms 400ms
• 40 x 5,000 = 200,000 eVTOL’s.
Inactive
• Assume a cost of £500,000 per aircraft gives a £100billion
market. (Actual cost could be double.)
• Assuming a safety system cost of £50,000 per aircraft gives a
£10billion market just for the AVCP safety system.
IN CONFIDENCE 12What is the eVTOL Market Potential?
14ms 100ms
• Clearly, it is not only the 40 largest cities that will require eVTOL taxis,
so it is reasonable to at least double the potential market value over
the next 10 years.
• It is also obvious that there is a multitude of other utility uses for
eVTOL aircraft. Farming, border/coastal patrol/police, search, rescue
and security services/leisure activities/forest seed planting,
autonomous fire fighting, etc. etc. the list is truly endless.
Motor 100ms 400ms
• For mid-range business use there are several winged designs with
Inactive
300kph and 300km range being designed, which are ideal for short
business travel.
• The desirability of your own personal VTOL aircraft capable of taking
off from a large garden or a drive will ensure that there is huge
demand for personal aircraft, whether for fun, utility purposes, daily
travel or business.
IN CONFIDENCE 13Inherent Low Cost and Safety of eVTOL
Designs.
14ms 100ms
• Compared to conventional helicopters eVTOL’s are very simple due to the
distributed electric powered multi-rotor system. There are no highly stressed,
complicated gearbox, transmission, and rotor control links, a failure of any
one of which will lead to a loss of control and an inevitable accident.
• The mechanical simplicity leads to:-
a) Low initial construction cost .
b) Low maintenance cost.
Motor c) Inherent safety by design.
100ms 400ms
Inactived) With multiple motors, separate battery packs, and control system
redundancy the likelihood of any internal system failure leading to a loss
of control is low.
• UBER anticipate that these factors will make eVTOL’s an ultra-safe mode of
transport, with accident rates well below those for road vehicles, and orders
of magnitude lower than conventional helicopters.
IN CONFIDENCE 14Environmental Issues.
14ms 100ms
• Conventional helicopters are noisy, relatively dangerous, and emit the usual
hydrocarbon air pollution. This makes them of limited use in cities. In
Philadelphia there are over 500 helicopter landing sites, but only 50 are
used due to the noise and pollution issues.
• eVTOL’s are much quieter than helicopters because the tip speed of the
small rotors is much lower than that of a helicopter main rotor.
Motor 100ms 400ms
Inactive
• Electrical power is pollution free (at the point of use) so meets the green
requirements that cities are now very concerned about.
• Reducing ground traffic congestion to shorten journey times is a key
objective.
IN CONFIDENCE 15When Will the eVTOL Urban Air Taxi
Market Happen?
• Both UBER and Airbus are planning separate trials of their systems starting
in 2020, with operational passenger carrying planned for 2023.
• UBER are using Los Angeles, Dallas, and Dubai, where the city authorities
are very keen to be the first to trial the concept.
• Dubai plans to have 20% of cars being autonomous by 2020. They have
already demonstrated the Volocopter last September, and are just starting a
second trial with it. The Chinese eHANG will also be tested there this year.
• Uber has signed a Space Act Agreement with NASA to create a brand-new
air traffic control system to manage these low-flying, possibly autonomous
aircraft.
• Provided certification is achieved in time passenger services will start by
2023. The AVCP safety system may well be instrumental in allowing this to
happen …….. The FAA have said that “the AVCP system could bring forward
the time in which services could start.”
IN CONFIDENCE 16Other Market Applications for the Parachute/
Rocket Motor Combination.
Military UAV’s
UAV’s are increasingly taking over from military piloted aircraft, which will eventually reduce the
market available to MB. These are expensive, important assets.
Civilian Utility and Scientific UAV’s
Again, civilian use for many purposes is increasing rapidly, some with very expensive equipment.
Whole Aircraft Parachute Recovery Systems
This is a growing Light and General Aviation market application which can use exactly the same
combined parachute/rocket motor combination to great advantage compared to the current
ballistic parachute-only technology.
Parcel Delivery Drones
The FAA are not allowing this kind of service to start in the USA because of the safety concerns,
which the system might solve.
Conventional Helicopters
Either the LRM option or possibly even the combined parachute/motor system could be useful,
especially for training applications.
IN CONFIDENCE 17When Might it Happen in the Additional
Markets?
Military UAV’s
Current market potential, we are talking to Agusta Westland.
Civilian Utility and Scientific UAV’s
Current market potential.
Whole Aircraft Parachute Recovery Systems
The existing ballistic parachute systems only work above about 250 – 300feet. Yet many accidents
happen on take-off or landing BELOW the effective altitude. There is clearly a huge current
opportunity in this existing market after we have demonstrated the system working.
Parcel Delivery Drones
The FAA are not allowing this kind of service to start in the USA because of the safety concerns,
which the system might solve. Could the AVCP system solve the current stalemate?
Conventional Helicopters

especially for training applications.

IN CONFIDENCE 25Conventional Ballistic Parachute Safety
System.
• Every eVTOL manufacturer says they will fit a ballistic parachute in
case there are control or power failure issues.
• But these only work above about 100 – 150feet altitude due to the
time it takes for the parachute to open.
• Hence there is a critical safety gap between about 100 – 150feet.
• Certification to carry passengers and fly over crowded urban
environments means that a complete Zero Altitude-Zero Speed safety
system must be used.
• Currently there is no such system available.
IN CONFIDENCE 26Benefits of the Parachute/Rocket Motor
Combination.
The addition of the rocket motor to a conventional ballistic parachute
system has several potential advantages:-
• The Ground Contact Velocity (GCV) can be reduced from about
6m/s to low levels such as 1-2m/s and possibly be actively
controlled to ensure a soft landing.
• Because the rocket motor impulse available is doing the final
part of the work in reducing the GCV a smaller, lighter, faster-
opening parachute can be used.
• If the parachute is combined with an airbag system to open it
very quickly (within 1s) the height at which the system becomes
fully effective can be much reduced, probably from about 100
feet to about 20 - 30 feet.
IN CONFIDENCE 27UBER Involvement.
• UBER have been driving14ms 100ms
the whole concept of the Urban Air Taxi since 2016.
• The First UBER Elevate Summit was the ‘starting gun’ for the current explosion
of interest in developing eVTOL aircraft designs, with 40+ major projects now
targeting the objective.
• But even before then NASA, and several far-sighted individuals have been
pursuing the same objective of multi-rotor, electrically powered aircraft
designs, including JoeBen Bevirt (an internet entrepreneur), Larry Page (Google
Motor 100ms plus many others less400ms

• The Second UBER Elevate Summit is on 8th/9th May in Los Angeles, and AVCP
has been invited to join UBER’ sponsorship scheme under which AVCP will
present its technology and UBER will promote it to the 700+ industry delegates.
• AVCP has weekly video conference calls with the UBER Technical Staff to
discuss the AVCP safety system development progress and production plans.

IN CONFIDENCE 29UBER Interest in AVCP Safety System.
• UBER, and all the eVTOL
14ms 100ms
design operations know very well that in order for
the Urban Air Taxi Concept to become reality the safety of the passengers
and those on the ground is paramount.
• Hence a true Zero-Zero safety system is a critical requirement, and it is
fortunate that AVCP has been the first to recognise this and promote the
concept to the industry, so we are now viewed as the leading company,
possibly the only company currently developing the required technology.
• UBER’s invitation to AVCP
Motor to join the UBER Sponsorship
100ms 400msScheme stated “We
Inactive
have created an "Emerging Tech" sponsorship track aimed at maximizing
exposure for promising startups at our Summit and beyond. We're providing
this opportunity only to a small number of companies like Advanced Blast
who (i) are closing an important gap in the Elevate ecosystem, (ii) and meet
a technical capability rigor bar assessment from our team”.
• Clearly, UBER cannot make any money from the concept until the aircraft
can carry passengers.
IN CONFIDENCE 30Why Does AVCP Have Such a
Strong Position?
• The ABBS Group’s track14msrecord of developing the
100ms
AMPS™ technology to
counteract the effects of mines/IED under a vehicle presents far more
challenging issues than the eVTOL safety requirement.
• The timescales to detect, measure, and react to the mine blast are
milliseconds rather than tenth’s of seconds in the eVTOL case.
• Similarly, the rate of impulse delivery from the motors is two orders of
magnitude lower.
Motor 100ms 400ms
• The internal rocket motor and propellant development capability within
Inactive
ARMS puts AVCP in a unique position to deliver exactly what is required.
• Using a ballistic parachute is a well known, standard technology, although
the airbags added to open it rapidly are a new AVCP addition. But it is the
ability of AVCP/ARMS to design and build bespoke rocket motor designs to
fit any type of aircraft gives AVCP a huge advantage, now being clearly
recognised by UBER.

• The design code which was originally developed in 2014 for the
conventional helicopter crash prevention case is proving to be a
critical tool in determining the optimum parameters for the

• Testing it with specific examples has clearly demonstrated that
if we incorporate certain elements into the rocket motor design

There's No Turning Back from an eVTOL
Future - February 28, 2018.
The electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) revolution is
upon us, and there’s likely no turning back. That is the message
from a growing number of opinion leaders at this year’s Heli-Expo.

Hirschberg, who points out that more than $1 billion has been
invested in vehicles and related research before regulations are
finalized for the category. And the roster of companies involved
