Hi Peter,
i have a very strong relationship with flying quietly and efficiently. the drive as such has long been finished. mgm and all other manufacturers have done a great job. i can only buy parts and bring them into a harmonious symbiosis.
with the thermal eppg the harness and aerodynamics are now perfect. the propeller is now also optimized for this at 140 cm. A cruise of 40 km / h is now possible under 2.8 kw with a 120 kg take-off.
with the classic eppg i have been flying a 150 cm three blade propeller for 3 weeks. The flight is around 3.3 kilowatts at 140 kg takeoff and 42 km / h. a rear fairing will bring a reduction of 0.2 kilowatts here.
the standard trike is comfortable and lasts for an average of 45-60 minutes. can also be charged for up to 90 minutes using additional batteries. thanks to the dudek bososon 34, fast flights of up to around 60 km / h are also possible. it’s fun to fly a fast lap in the evening.
I now use all of my energy to build my F1 trike. it is built entirely in carbon and fiberglass, aramid. it is reminiscent of a formula 1 cockpit. thin tires also clad in a flow-optimized manner and a completely new suspension that also allows the trimmer 22 cm in height to be conveniently opened. there will be a huge hold for the batteries under the pilot. without disturbing aerodynamics. I then expect a reduction in the required power of around 20 -25% compared to a standard trike. even more so when it comes to top speed in the 65 km / h range, it will be even clearer here. I want to inspire others and encourage them to build something for themselves. there are now so many specialized companies for electronics and commercial goals that enough material is available. In the beginning it was interesting for me to support and supply others. today it is no longer necessary to deal with it here. regards
