Flight Design created the F2e with partners Siemens\neAircraft, the manufacturer and developer of the propulsion technology and\nAPUS, a Strausberg-based company specializing in the development and\nintegration of sustainable propulsion systems in aviation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The project serves to gain knowledge on environmentally\nfriendly flight with innovative propulsion concepts and on the safe integration\nof energy storage systems within the airframe. It represents the basis for\nfurther Flight Design development and certification of a practical electric\naircraft. The F2e is based on standard components that are used in the Rotax\n912iS powered F2 variant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Flight Design F2 is a high-wing strutless design which\nis largely manufactured using carbon fiber composite technology. The company is\na market leader with 2000 aircraft delivered and flying all over the world. The\ncompany\u2018s focus is on Europe and the Americas with Asian markets managed\nthrough cooperation with local partners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flight Training is one area that generates the best\nopportunity for improvment in the environment for nature, nearby residents and\nairfields as noise emissions are concentrated in that one place, the airfield,\nwhere future pilots spend a lot of time flying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The propulsion system provided by Siemens eAircraft includes\nthe 55 kW electric direct drive SP55D, an inverter and the modular control\nsystem EPUIII consisting of the Vehicle Control Unit, Cockpit Control Unit,\nBattery System Master and Power Supply Unit. The propulsion system has already\nbeen extensively tested in laboratory and ground tests as well as flight tested\nfor hundreds of flight hours under the supervision of Siemens eAircraft. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The expectations were fulfilled with the successful first\nflight. Energy consumption for take-off and cruise was within the expected\nrange, and the temperatures in the system were more positive than expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flight Design, Siemens and APUS are working with\ninternational authorities to simplify the certification of electric aircraft of\nthis class. These include the development of regulations for propulsion and\nenergy storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have been associated with Flight Design since we started\nour aviation businesses said Chris Benaiges, CEO of Ameravia. We have expanded\nour business with the addition of the distribution of Vulcanair Aircraft in the\nU.S. and desired to rejoin Flight Design general aviation and their new\nownership as the timing seem great for both enterprises. We are looking forward\nto the new F2 and the four seat F4,\u201d said Benaiges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ameravia has created a new Aero Club featuring only\naffordable new and late model aircraft initially based at the Miami Executive\nairport. The Ameravia Aero Club is currently offering a new CTLSi and a new\nVulcanair V1 for their members and is planning to expand to other locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Aero Club was the dream of Ameravia\u2019s Vice President of\nSales & Marketing Mike McMann, a veteran of the general aviation business.\n\u201cWe are very excited to be a regional distributor for Flight Design and we\nthink the F2 will be the perfect plane for our individual owner, fleet sales\nand Aero Club customers,\u201d said Mike. \u201cI\u2019ve known the folks at Flight Design USA\nfor nearly 15 years and we are looking forward to helping expand their business\nboth here in the South East USA and South America as well.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
