<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThe TENSOR 600X is intended for personal mobility:\nMedium-distance business trips, for example, can be completed much faster than\nwith any other mode of transport. The aircraft is about twice as efficient as a\ncomparable helicopter. The basis for this is the “Fraundorfer R01 High\nPerformance” rotor system \u2013 a new generation of autorotation rotors\ndeveloped with state-of-the-art computer simulations. This has enabled\nFraundorfer Aeronautics to achieve outstanding performance, stability and\nsafety values. The TENSOR is a completely newly developed compound gyroplane\nand can fly in areas where previous aircraft reached their limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fraundorfer Aeronautics’ technology makes it possible to\ntake off practically vertically; quiet, easy to handle and inexpensive to fly.\nIn addition, the aircraft is very safe, as it does not experience stalls or\nspins, making it fundamentally different from other aircraft. Even in critical\nweather conditions, the TENSOR flies safely. A single-engine aircraft normally\nrequires 5,000 meters of visibility and a minimum safe altitude of 600 meters;\nthe TENSOR manages with 800 meters of visibility and 150 meters of minimum safe\naltitude. In other words, while a single-engine aircraft can only fly about 30\npercent of the days of the year due to weather conditions, the TENSOR can\nrealistically be used 85 percent of the days of the year. It is efficient and\ndesigned for alternative propulsion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Compact pilot training as an additional service<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Fraundorfer Aeronautics also offers compact pilot training.\nUsing modern training methods, simulator training and courses in blocks, the\npilot’s license can be obtained after a total of four weeks of training. In\naddition, the company’s “Pilot-to-Pilot Guidance” offers its\ncustomers comprehensive support in all flying-related matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Until now, flying has been a time-consuming hobby. Long\nflight preparation, pre-flight checks and ground handling characterized private\naviation. TENSOR takes a completely new approach, looking not only at the\naircraft, but also at the entire chain of training, service, maintenance and\noperations. As a result, the TENSOR enables busy people to make flying part of\ntheir personal mobility, saving them time and money. The TENSOR is airborne in\n10 minutes, ready for takeoff. In Germany, today already 400 airfields can be\nused for takeoff and landing. The wings of the aircraft are foldable for\nhangarage and also for transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Locomotion in the air that is independent of infrastructure on the ground<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The technology of the TENSOR 600X is the basis for a new,\nsignificantly more powerful generation of aircraft. With it, the company aims\nto establish efficient, safe and environmentally friendly locomotion in the air\nthat is independent of infrastructure on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “When we founded Fraundorfer Aeronautics, we wanted not\nonly to bring the beauty and efficiency of flight into everyone’s daily lives,\nbut also, and more importantly, to enable environmental and disaster relief\nmissions that were previously infeasible,” says Christoph Fraundorfer,\nfounder and CEO of Fraundorfer Aeronautics. “We have been performing\nunsolved, highly complex aerodynamic calculations for decades. After seven\nyears of risks and challenges, we’ve made a breakthrough.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n The TENSOR’s characteristics make this aircraft very well\nsuited for use in areas where it is difficult to build runways – for example,\nin urban environments. But the TENSOR’s capabilities also offer great\nadvantages between cities and in hard-to-reach regions with weak\ninfrastructure, for example for rescue services, transport flights or disaster\ncontrol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fraundorfer TENSOR will shape transport logistics and passenger traffic<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The TENSOR is a scalable concept that can fundamentally\nchange air traffic. By mid-decade, Fraundorfer Aeronautics will launch the\nTENSOR 800X, a further development of the TENSOR 600X certified under European\naviation regulations and capable of commercial operations. This larger aircraft\nis aimed at commercial applications, such as passenger transport, use in\nlogistics or for supply flights to regions that are difficult to reach. This is\nbecause it can perform these applications much more cheaply and efficiently\nthan a helicopter, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Successful maiden flight in January 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Fraundorfer Aeronautics’ “TENSOR 600X”\nsuccessfully completed its maiden flight in January 2020 after receiving\npreliminary airworthiness certification. The aircraft is currently undergoing\ncertification.
