Created the world's first passenger electroanalyt

At the time, how on earth come up with alternative sources of energy in the air climbed safely eGenius plane with an electric motor. May 25, in the sky in the German city of Mindelheim twenty minutes for the first time took to the skies the invention of the aircraft. eGenius have developed a group of Stuttgart University Institute of aircraft engineering, which was sponsored by Airbus.

Configuration electroanalyt like a tourist glider: wingspan of 16.9 m, fuselage length 8.1 m, and the width of the cabin is 1.1 m This device is quite wide to put in for two seats.

 




The only prop makes two thousand revolutions per minute, because of the electric motor with a maximum output of 60 kW. eGenius can overcome at maximum speed 235 km/h the distance of 400 km at the same time, it has a minimum lifting weight of 850 kg and two passengers weighing up to 180 kg.

Already on may 30 electric aircraft again hovered in the sky, this time for two hours and 30 minutes. Apparently a leading aircraft manufacturer Airbus is interested in environmentally friendly aerial vehicles, after all, civil flights as military aviation — a major consumer of petroleum fuels, thereby they harm the environment. It only remains to wait for the "green" planes will appear more frequently on the background of our blue sky.
