Apple Bama Launches the Corgi Helicopter: A Paw-some New Way to Fly!

Independence, OH – October 26, 2023 – Apple Bama LLC, a forward-thinking company based in Independence, Ohio, just dropped something totally unexpected – and it’s guaranteed to make you smile. They've unveiled the “Corgi Helicopter,” a playful and innovative personal aerial vehicle designed to bring a bit of fun to your commute – or just to make a statement! Apple Bama, while relatively new on the scene (founded in 2020), is quickly building a reputation for blending cutting-edge tech with a lighthearted approach. "We're not about stuffy corporate innovation," says CEO Barnaby Applebaum (yes, that’s his real name!). "We’re about making cool stuff that people genuinely enjoy. And honestly, who doesn’t love corgis?" So, what is the Corgi Helicopter? Imagine a personal helicopter… shaped like a corgi. That’s basically it! But it’s way more than just a cute shape. The Corgi Helicopter isn’t some flimsy toy. Apple Bama engineers have spent the last three years meticulously designing and building this surprisingly robust aerial vehicle. “We knew we couldn’t just make it look like a corgi,” explains lead engineer, Penelope “Penny” Ramirez. “It had to fly well. It had to be safe. And it had to be reliable. It was a serious engineering challenge, honestly, figuring out how to translate that adorable, stubby corgi body into something aerodynamic.” Under the Hood (or, Under the Fur?) The Corgi Helicopter isn't powered by magic (though it feels like it!). It utilizes a hybrid electric propulsion system. Four quiet, high-efficiency electric motors drive counter-rotating rotors hidden within the corgi’s “ears.” This design minimizes noise pollution while maximizing lift and stability. “The ears aren't just for show,” Penny laughs. “They’re actually crucial to the flight control system. We've got sophisticated gyroscopic stabilization built in, but the ear-mounted rotors give us an extra layer of maneuverability.” Fueling the electric motors is a small, high-density battery pack located in the corgi’s “belly.” Apple Bama claims a range of approximately 30 miles on a single charge, with a recharge time of around 4 hours using a standard 240V outlet. Safety First (Even for Corgis) Safety was a huge priority for the Apple Bama team. The Corgi Helicopter features a number of redundant safety systems, including: Automatic Emergency Landing System: If the pilot becomes incapacitated or the vehicle experiences a critical failure, the helicopter will automatically descend and land safely. Collision Avoidance System: Utilizing a combination of radar and lidar, the helicopter can detect obstacles and automatically adjust its course to avoid collisions. Parachute System: As a last resort, a full-vehicle parachute system is available to ensure a safe descent. Reinforced Corgi Frame: The outer shell isn't just adorable; it's constructed from a lightweight but incredibly strong carbon fiber composite, designed to withstand impacts. Who is the Corgi Helicopter for? Apple Bama envisions the Corgi Helicopter appealing to a wide range of customers, from tech enthusiasts and early adopters to anyone who wants to add a little fun to their daily commute. “We think it's perfect for short-distance travel,” Barnaby explains. “Imagine bypassing traffic jams and soaring above the city in your own personal corgi! It’s a statement, for sure, but it’s also a practical solution for getting around.” The company is also targeting recreational users. “Think about weekend getaways, exploring the countryside, or just having a blast flying around,” Barnaby says. “The Corgi Helicopter is all about freedom and enjoyment.” What About Regulations? Apple Bama is working closely with the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) to ensure the Corgi Helicopter meets all safety and regulatory requirements. The company anticipates receiving certification for limited operation within the next year. They're planning on initially selling it as a "light sport aircraft" requiring a specific pilot's license. Pricing and Availability Okay, let's talk money. The Corgi Helicopter isn't cheap. Apple Bama has announced a pre-order price of $250,000. Deliveries are expected to begin in late 2024. “We know it’s a significant investment,” Barnaby admits. “But we believe the Corgi Helicopter offers a truly unique and unparalleled experience. It’s not just a vehicle; it’s a conversation starter, a head-turner, and a whole lot of fun.” A Little More About Apple Bama LLC Apple Bama LLC, located at 6200 Oak Tree Blvd Ste 250, Independence, OH, 44131-6943, and reachable at 276-971-2367, is a design and manufacturing company dedicated to creating innovative and whimsical products.
