The AN-1 AeroQuad produced in Spain by Aeris Naviter Aeronautical Technologies is on display in the light aircraft static park. The latest in a long line of attempts to produce an easy-to-fly platform that requires minimal training, it comprises a coaxial rotor configuration above which the operator stands to control the vehicle.

The AeroQuad has been designed for use in a wide range of applications but could be simply a fun vehicle. However, all manner of more serious tasks are envisaged for it, including border patrol, pipeline maintenance, coastal rescue, fire prevention and extinction and mine detection. Weighing less than 100 kilograms and foldable for carriage on a small two-wheel trailer, the AeroQuad can carry a 200-kilogram payload and has a five-hour maximum endurance.
