|
Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th of January 2009 took place
first flights of electrical motorglider Alatus-ME from Sisteron-Vaumeilh
airfield (Alpes de Haute Provence – France).
|
|
The electrical motorization E-Motors is developed by
Electravia, and is already implemented on the plane "Electra" and on the
delta trikes "ElectroTrike".
The motor delivers 26 hp and is powered by a Lithium-Polymer battery. |
|
Michel Sérane, Electravia's test pilot, has checked
all flight configurations of the motorglider. Altitude gain is 2.100 m.
Alatus flight endurance in calm weather is 1h07. This duration is the
longest logged one on aircraft equipped with batteries at present.
|
|
The Alatus-M offers advantages of different aircraft:
comfort and performances of glider, compactness of hangglider and ease
of use of an ultralight. Electrical motor is reliable, clean, silent,
economic and easy to maintain. Alatus with electrical motor becomes a
100% ecological motorglider for nature lover and environment-friendly's
pilots.
