E-volo : vehicle revolution inspired by rc drone

Automotive manufacturers continually strive to create a figure of future cars that are no longer walking on land, but in the air.

Flying car will be assessed the needs of society as well as the main solution in the big cities, which is often stuck in traffic jams.

For this reason, an engineer in England, Thomas Senkel and his two friends, creating a car-shaped flying helicopters.



As reported by the Daily Mail, Tuesday, November 8, 2011, vehicle-based helicopter was named E-Volo-16 rotor, and capable of flying in the air without any input from the pilot.

This new type of vehicle adequately controlled from the joystick. Surely this is a starting point for future vehicle revolution. In tests conducted this week, E-Volo managed float for 2 minutes 30 seconds.

Senkel explains E-Volo currently only able to fly for about 20 minutes, because of the limitations of lithium-ion battery power, it uses.

"This vehicle has a very good structure and are able to replace other vehicles, helicopters and even in many situations," he said

E-Volo can be used to check the pipe line, air ambulance or take photographs from the air or just for fun. In an emergency, the E-Volo is also equipped with parachutes and GPS. There has been no intention of all three to produce E-Volo to the market.

Tiny electric plane unveiled at Paris air show -smallest twin-engine aircraft in the world

A tiny electric powered plane, said to be the smallest twin-engine aircraft in the world, has taken flight at the Paris Air Show.

Pilot, Hugues Duval, dazzled spectators with a demonstration flight, in the "Cri-Cri".

The plane can reach speeds of up to 260km/h (160mph).

First Flight Cricri Electric engine

September 9, 2010 The all-electric Cri Cri, the first airplane acrobatics of the four engines, made his first official flight to Le Bourget airport near Paris last week (September 3). The morning flight was good, all systems worked well, and the pilot reported an excellent maneuverability. Although it was a great flight was relatively short as Chrissy returned to Earth after seven minutes. The Cri Cri was developed to sail for 30 minutes at 59 knots and reach speeds of 135 knots acrobatics and climbing to 1,000 feet per minute.


The aerobatics team includes many innovative technologies such as Composite, that reduce the weight of the cell and compensate for the added weight of the batteries, four brushless electric motors with propellers, CO2 emissions have, without drive noise emissions and significantly to lithium batteries of low comparatively high thermal energy density.

The Cri Cri-test is a system integration with low electric technologies in support of projects such as our hybrid drive system for helicopters, said Jean Botti, Chief Technology Officer of EADS. We hope to get many useful information about this project. In the near future will power the battery is not capable of large aircraft.

The Cri Cri-was jointly organized by EADS Innovation Works, Aerospace Saintonge compounds, and the Association of Cri Cri-developed green.

EADS Cricri 4 electric engine

EADS Inovations unveiled 4 engine electric-powered CriCri Aircraft. This small aircraft used composite materials instead of metal to reduce overall weight and make room for the high-energy-density lithium batteries. Those cells provide power to four brushless electric motors – two mounted back-to-back on nose pods on each side - with counter-rotating propellers.

This EADS Cricri has performance: 30 minutes of cruise flight at 110 km/h (68 mph); 15 minutes of full aerobatics at up to 250 km/h (155 mph); and a climb rate of approximately 5.3 m/sec (1,020 fpm). (eaa.org)

Terrafugia flying car gets a break from the FAA

With only 20 hours of flying time, you too could become licensed to fly the Terrafugia, the flying car.

Terrafugia has received an examption from the FAA to be classified as a "light sport aircraft" even though it is 110 pounds over the required takeoff weight for the classification.

The Terrafugia Transition, as the model is known, hits the scales at 1,430 pounds max. If the waiver had not been granted, buyers would have been required to have more flying time before they could get behind the wheel, er, stick, er, whatever.

The extra weight was built in to take care of the airbags, crumple zones and other safety requirements of modern cars. The flying car is actually safer than other private aircraft, the company argues, because it gives pilots the option of driving, rather than flying, to a destination in bad weather.

Flight tests are expected to start next spring, Vice President Sam Schweighart tell Drive On, and deliveries could begin by the end of 2011. The "roadable plane" fits in home garages, run on either high-octane gas or aviation fuel, gets 30 to 35 miles a gallon on the ground and 5 gallons an hour in the air and has a range of 460 miles, the Associated Press says. It cruises at 115 miles per hour -- in the air. (usatoday.com)
