ElectraFlyer - O Avião Eléctrico!

[RJSC]

nós, amantes de veículos eléctricos já não estamos limitados apenas a scooters, papa-reformas, carros e barcos.

seguindo a tendência do que se passa há vários anos no aeromodelismo, começam agora a aparecer aviões eléctricos capazes de carregar pessoas!

finalmente já cá estão!

muito bom!

como o sonex ...

o sonex parece mais bonito, tem um motor brushless e tal, mas não o postei por uma simples razão:

muito "hype" (conversa, fotos parado...) e não consegui encontrar nem um único vídeo ou foto dele em voo.

por isso não vale a pena. queremos é aviões que levantem do chão!

aí vai a teoria da conspiração...
talvez porque o patrocinador do vídeo seja um lubrificante de aviação, leia-se óleo (coisa para motores de combustão).

"this video is brought to you by exxonmobil aviation lubricants!"
em português: este vídeo é-lhe oferecido por exxonmobil, lubrificantes para aviação!

vídeo patrocinado por uma companhia petrolífera...
caricato, não?

vídeo patrocinado por uma companhia petrolífera

exacto, e esse é sem duvida a ponto mais interessante: as petroliferas sabem muito bem o quanto avançados seriam os veiculos electricos se elas lhe dessem nem que fosse uma pequena oportunidade ... e o quanto inutil seria a sua acçao nesta multi-sociedade mundial.

temos mais um!

e já um 2 lugares comercial (à venda):

http://yuneeccouk.site.securepod.com/aircraft.html

yuneec international are proud to introduce the e430 the world’s first commercially produced ‘electric aircraft’.

the e430 is a twin seat, single engine, lsa class aircraft designed to be simple to use, easy to fly and with virtually zero vibration, it's very smooth.
low noise, no emissions, no fuel, extremely low maintenance and best of all. . . . . it’s environmentally friendly.

electric flight, once seen as futuristic, has arrived and with e430’s flight times of between 1.5 and 3 hours (depending on configuration) electric flight now becomes a realistic power source for sport aviation. charging times of 3 hours for as little as $5 make electric a really low cost way to fly and with only 2 main moving parts in the motor (the bearings) the reliability and maintenance are like nothing seen before.

add to that the delight of smooth, quiet powered flight or silent using its 25:1 glide ratio - the e430 is in a class of its own.

também um paramotor!

yuneec international is proud to announce e-pac, the beginning of a new era is personal aviation. designed and developed by a team of young engineers and professional pilots, with extensive experience in the paramotoring industry, e-pac is the culmination of 2 years extensive r&d.

e-pac is the world’s first commercial electric powered flight system. not only does it represent a significant breakthrough in electric technology it also offers for the first time the opportunity to fly using an environmentally friendly power source. unlike petroleum, electricity is clean, reliable and hassle free. it is a commodity which people feel comfortable using in their everyday lives - tv’s, hi-fi’s, mp3 players and mobile phones - and so it is the perfect power source to use as they take to the air.

the advantages of electric power:

* easy to use - just 'flick the switch'
* power - only when its needed
* clean - no messy residue
* environmentally friendly - no emissions
* lower noise - motor is silent
* no mechanical knowledge required
* no motor adjustment required
* no servicing needed
* not effected by altitude or conditions



e-pac is the perfect power unit for pilots of all levels, from beginners to professionals. the ‘plug and play’ advantages and quiet operation of electric power provides stress free flying for everyone. small enough disassembled to fit in the boot of a car, train or plane the e-pac can be taken anywhere to fully explore the freedom and joy of electric flight.


at the heart of e-pac is our purpose designed direct drive brushless motor, the ‘power drive 160’. weighing only 3.8kg, it is the perfect power unit producing zero vibration or noise during operation and with only a single moving part it is virually maintenance free. powered by lithium polymer cells the entire power system is housed inside a practical and ergonomic moulded body unit. it is the most compact power unit on the market, fitted with a 4 part 1.3m propeller cage designed for fast assembly and optimum efficiency. our specialized ‘aerofoil profile’ tubing provides high strength and minimal drag. the ‘quiet prop’ and light weight ‘easy grip’ hand controller, fitted with an lcd data display and vibrating alarm system all combine to make e-pac the most advanced paramotor in the world today.

operation is simplicity itself. charge the battery pack, approximately 1.5hours, insert the pack into the body, connect to the power grid (1x plug) and your e-pac’s ready to fly. press the power switch, inflate your wing, squeeze the throttle and the sky is yours.

mais um, este ultrapassou os 250 km/h neste primeiro vôo.
já faltou mais para aparecerem eléctricos na redbull air race.
