Milestone

2010 - The newest CDS-III units have been drastically modified and improved based on numerous feedbacks and requests. CDS-III units will come completely assembled and tested. They may also be order with newly developed composite rotor blades specifically developed for the EzyCopter.

2009 - CDS-I and CDS-II have been sold and shipped to coaxial helicopter experimenters in five countries, 3 continents.  Orders for CDS kits are being taken. Your inquiries are welcome.

2008 - a full-size EZYCOPTER-II demonstrator was tested and prepared for production.

 

2007 - another small YOSHINE UAV demonstrator flew with a turbine engine remotely piloted, again supporting our objective to develop an easy, safe, and affordable coaxial helicopter the word has been waiting for.

2006 - YOSHINE continued development of the CDS-I to come up with an improved CDS-II with integrated cyclic, collective, and yaw controls.

　

2005 - YOSHINE was invited to make a presentation on "VTOL UAV - A Coaxial Alternative" at the UAV Forum of the Paris Air Show 2005.  YOSHINE listed in Jane's VTOL UAV Yearbook.

In January 2004 Popular Mechanics reported in TechWatch, citing EZYCOPTER as one of the "Future Helicopters Invade England" along with EuroCopter 225 and Sikorsky S-92.

In June 2004 YOSHINE unmanned helicopter UAV made its first demo flight with twin 25hp engines driving a YOSHINE CDS simultaneously, remotely piloted, confirming our objective to develop a safe and easy to fly and affordable coaxial helicopter the word has been waiting for.

In November, 2003, YOSHINE debuted its Coaxial Drive System (CDS) of the first generation at the HeliTech Exhibition in Duxford, near Cambridge, UK.
