INTRODUCING
Ascending Technologies: The specialist for
multi-rotor aircraft systems
We take particular pleasure in observing
the success of young companies working
with Step-Four systems. The two Achtelik
brothers from Stockdorf near Munich acquired
their milling machine in 2002 – at
which time they were still students-. Innovative
ideas combined with diligence and
perseverance finally led to the founding of
a successful company.
Ascending Technologies – the name of
the company stands for innovative multi-rotor
aircraft systems. Many years of
experience, based on the award-winning
“Jugend forscht” (Young Scientists) work
performed by the managing partners and
employees, as well as a great enthusiasm
for flying systems, are a guarantee for sophisticated
and innovative concepts, which
have created one or another revolution on
the “quadrocopter skies”.
The high-tech devices have been used for
a number of special assignments, such as
the examination of large-area coal fires in
China, which was performed for research
A quadrocopter
from astec
institutes, to fly over archaeological excavation
sites in Mongolia, and to observe
whales in Argentina. Many photographers
use the robots for high-quality aerial photographs.
Are you looking for a robust, light and manoeuvrable
quadrocopter, with which you
can impress your friends by letting it hover
around your living room or soar across the
skies outdoors with a breathtaking aero-
batic programme? Or do you need a
means by which you can shoot aerial
photographs and videos? Do you perhaps
need a flying sensor carrier for
research projects? Then visit the website
www.asctec.de.
By the way: Both the prototypes and
the serial models are still being produced
today with the aid of Step-Four
products.
