2023 New Elektra One Solar Electric

Description

Extremely low noise level

• Less than 50 dB noise level (German LTF-UL 2020) – moderate rainfall noise. Operation in noise protected areas possible.
• Operational costs
• 45 EUR/h (OPS version), aircraft depreciation cost, electricity & battery, maintenance, insurance.
• Redundancy
• Dual redundant propulsion system. Each of two subsystems is composed of motor, motor controller, battery. Dual redundant power supply for avionics & autopilot. In case of failure of motor, motor controller, battery or all of them in one subsystem, the aircraft is able to climb with at least 1.5 m/s.
• In case of OPS, double redundant electronic flight instruments.
• In case of UAS, triple redundant autopilot system composed of flight control computer (FCC), navigation sensors, air data system. Double redundant actuators.
• Solar system
• The solar system serves as a range extender. It is composed of solar generator & solar converter (maximum power point tracker). The solar system is connected to the batteries & propulsion unit so that the solar energy can be used for the motor directly, for charging batteries or for both in parallel.
• Optionally piloted system (OPS)
• Elektra One Solar OPS is equipped with autopilot system. The pilot can switch to the autopilot mode & can fly a mission completely autonomously including take-off & landing. The flight mission can be defined by means of a special software before the flight & changed or adapted during the flight from the cockpit or from the ground control station. Elektra One Solar OPS can be delivered for operation without pilot in the cockpit.
• Unmanned aerial system (UAS)
• Elektra One Solar UAS is equipped with a triple redundant autopilot system. By removing the instrument panel, flight controls, canopy, seat & seat belts, the empty weight of the aircraft is reduced by 20 kg, allowing an increase in payload or battery capacity.
