What is MAKO®?
MAKO® in plain language - is a small balloon that flies on the end of a string. Put another way, MAKO® "ain't your grandaddy's balloon" - It's a Manportable High Performance Tethered Aerostatic Hybrid Air System that uses a lightweight balloon/harness, a mooring / tethering system and a lightweight wing and tail system that you can rely on.
MAKO® is the definitive worldwide technology of choice if you're in the market for a low cost, rapidly deployable, persistent, portable and stable tethered aerial platform that you can use to elevate lightweight technologies such as communications repeater's or to achieve an elevated vantage point for lightweight imaging and sensing systems.
Why is it MAKO® useful?
MAKO® offers an unprecedented opportunity to access vantage points at a fraction of the cost and virtually no regulatory restrictions of other systems. MAKO® offers the aerodynamic stability of fixed wing aircraft, the independent lift of lighter than air devices (balloons) and the stationary security of a kite for man portable persistent fixed or mobile elevated platforms.
