Chapter 939 - Electric Aircraft

On the runway, several beautiful-looking planes were parked on the runway. Several of the aircraft are similar in appearance and all fall into the category of small aircraft.

However, there is a big difference in the number of seats, there are single seats, there are double seats, and some have no seats.

"Mr. Zhang, this is our Feiling electric plane. At present, our aircraft has obtained the airworthiness certificate of the United States, Europe and our three regions in China. It is currently the world's first electric aircraft to obtain an airworthiness certificate......"

Han Fei, the chief designer of the Feiling, had pride on his face. Feiling, a small electric aircraft independently developed by Longteng Group.

If it was an ordinary small aircraft of fuel type, Han Fei would definitely not have anything to be proud of. But now switching to an electric plane, Hanafe is proud.

Flying, payload: 360kg, maximum crew: 4, length: 6680mm, height: 2450mm, wingspan: 14500mm, wing area: 14 square meters, maximum take-off weight: 800kg, empty aircraft weight (including battery) 440kg. The maximum flight altitude is 3,000 meters, the cruising speed in the air is 315 kilometers per hour, and the cruising range is 935 kilometers.

That's the stats for this electric plane, and as a small aircraft, it's excellent. As an electric small aircraft, this data is very awesome.

With a range of 935 km, it is more than enough for a small aircraft. After all, the purpose of this small aircraft is generally for sightseeing, or agricultural use, etc.

At the same time, the battery on this aircraft is the all-solid-state battery of Longteng Group, and it is precisely because of this battery that it has such an awesome cruising range. If you use an ordinary lithium battery, you can only achieve a maximum cruising range of 385 kilometers.

The advantages of all-solid-state batteries are thoroughly demonstrated here. On a single charge, it is perfectly capable of cruising at top speed for three hours.

At the same time, the aircraft has two charging methods, if you use high-voltage fast charging, it only takes 25 minutes to fully charge.

If you use the low-voltage power supply at home, it only takes six hours to fully charge.

The design team is most proud of the energy consumption, which is very low. The energy consumption of 100 kilometers only needs 42 kWh.

That's the most important thing, one kilometer consumes less than one kilowatt-hour of electricity. According to the current electricity price of Chinese residents, the cost of a one-kilometer flight is less than three cents.

This is the most important thing, it can be said that ordinary people can afford this aircraft. The body is made of the latest fitting materials, which is not only lightweight, but also durable.

At the same time, the aircraft is easy to maintain and has a self-testing function. At the same time, it is equipped with the most advanced unmanned driving function, and the operating system has also been optimized to operate, which is very easy to learn.

"Let's go, go up and take a lap. ”

Zhang Fan looked a little excited, and directly put on a helmet and got on a plane. The chief designer and two other staff members also boarded the plane.

This is a four-seater model, and although the space is not too much, it can be used for four people. Zhang Fan as a driver.

Start the plane and the propellers turn. Unlike the fuel engine, the sound of the electric motor is very quiet, only the whirring sound of the propeller can be heard, but there is no noise like the fuel engine.

When the door is closed, no sound can be heard in the cabin. Seeing that he was running, Zhang Fan taxied directly and took off. Such a small aircraft can take off and land at a distance of several tens of meters, and the take-off and landing standards are very low.

You can take off and land on ordinary roads, grass, and so on. The technology is not very advanced, it is all propeller aircraft.

However, the shape of the aircraft has been tested in a professional wind tunnel, which makes the aerodynamics of this aircraft very good.

The plane took off, and Zhang Fan was very excited. It's not a propeller plane, but it's very nimble. The interior is very quiet, looking at the blue sky and white clouds from the air, looking at the city below, Zhang Fan has a smile on his face.

At the same time, the LCD instrument panel displays various information, and it also has a special navigation system. This navigation system is different from the city, and the standard information on it is the route information.

At the same time, the altitude, speed, cruising range and so on of the aircraft are displayed very clearly. It also supports unmanned driving, sets a good goal, and the aircraft can control everything by itself in the air, even take-off and take-off and landing.

The control system is equipped with artificial intelligence, and now the aircraft is a four-seater sightseeing model. At the experimental site, there are also unmanned cargo models.

360 kg payload. It is also very convenient if it is used for express transportation. For example, carrying some relatively light and urgent objects can be carried by this unmanned aircraft.

After flying in the sky for more than an hour and experimenting with a lot of things, Zhang Fan flew down satisfied. With a flight time of up to three hours, this aircraft can be used in many places.

It can be used not only for sightseeing, but also for spraying pesticides, small freight, rapid passenger transport, and so on.

After all, the cruising range is basically close to a thousand kilometers. You can't take too many people, but if you're traveling urgently, you're fine.

"Yes, I'm satisfied. This aircraft is fully capable of developing a luxury model. There is no problem with using it as a private jet. Now that the country is gradually opening up its airspace, the future is still very promising in China. Not to mention abroad......"

Zhang Fan said seriously. The cost of this aircraft is not too expensive. In the future, the price will not be too expensive, and the most important thing is that maintenance is simple and cheap, and energy consumption is also cheap.

Flying this plane is even cheaper than driving a car. For some wealthy people, it is very normal to fly to and from work by themselves in the future.

"That's true, and the market outlook is also very good. ”

Han Fei said with a smile.

"Now that we have obtained the airworthiness certificates of Europe and the United States. Let's start by opening up markets in Europe and the United States. Their aviation is relatively open, and the market prospects are very good. Especially the United States......"

Zhang Fan said with a smile, relative to the United States and Europe. The airspace in China is still not very open. After all, there are too many people in China, and if the airspace is opened, it is estimated that the planes in the sky will be flying everywhere in the future.

So this aircraft is not too big in the Chinese market at the moment. At present, Longteng Group only plans to use this aircraft for sightseeing and cargo use.

But in the U.S., the market is bigger. After all, the United States is vast and sparsely populated, and many people live far away. And this small plane is not big, and if the wings are folded again, a garage can be stuffed.

Take-off and landing are also very convenient, and for Americans, this aircraft may become a standard in some homes like a car.

In their free time, the family went out on their own planes. It's also a way of life.

The product is quite satisfying, and this aircraft is just the beginning. Solid-state batteries give the aviation industry more options. It is a small aircraft now, it may be a mid-size aircraft in the future, and it is possible to have a large aircraft, and at that time, the entire aviation industry is likely to change dramatically.
