Highlights of the e-flight-expo
Three hydrogen fuel cell airplanes will be exhibited on the AERO with the French ultralight fuel cell trike flying during the daily air shows. This hydrogen trike made by Helite is a world première: the light weight manned aircraft is solely powered by a fuel cell without battery support.High efficient electric engines
The brushless electric engines of the German Engineer Dr. Werner Eck have become market leaders. They are used world wide in manned electric aircraft from light sport fixed wings, motorgliders to paraplanes and powered hanggliders.Sunseeker is a solar powered motor glider designed and built by Eric Raymond, USA. So far the Californian pilot has accumulatd more than 500 hours on solar-flight. Above the clouds Sunseeker produces enough electric power for straight and level flight while recharging the batteries fort he next take-off.Green Village Airfield: A concept by Calin Gologan, Germany, to realize the zero emission flight with an electric light sport aircraft powered by electricity ecologically generated on the air field.Hybrid-Power aircraft. A renowned German Company has patented the world’s first Hybrid-Propulsion for prop driven aircraft. 50 HP electrical power can temporarily be added to the 120 HP of the reciprocal engine when needed for take-off and climb. Interesting detail: The electric engine serves as generator. |
