- We had a short 20min intro to our project yesterday at the Transnova conference. Transnova are co-funding our hybrid development program, it is a fund developed to reduce CO2 emissions in Norway. And we are doing our bit to make electric flight the next big thing in aviation. Big thanks to everyone who made the day a special one, with great lectures, projects and future optimism! Things are happening in Norway.
- Transnova conference tomorrow! We´ll have a 20min presentation at about 14.00hrs!
- Here´s an old concept study of a catamaran seaplane very light jet we designed in 2007. It was featured last week in B1 Mag Thailand. Hope somebody goes an builds it! It might just be a big hit in Asia.
- Picture illustrating the pure size of the interior in the Excursion. It´s by far the widest cabin of all light aeroplanes in the world, giving extremely good balance in water and a good safe feeling in all situations. Pretty different from the Long EZ and DynAero MCR we normally utilize for making holes in the air. Next step is to make it seaworthy and get some test runs in the water before finishing the wings and interior.
- Martin Krafft testing the interior shell master plug of the #EQP2 he´s been working on the last month. It´s looking good, and next week the first moulds will come out to fill the fuselage. Further work includes seat backs, controls and avionics - console design.
- Here`s the result of the cut out. The pure interior size was impressive, a real boat which we are convinced will provide ample feelings of security and stability in water. We will now move on with preparing the fuselage, interior and tail for early sea trials to accumulate data on water friction and structural integrity of the hull. So very soon this fuselage will get wet, and it will exciting to see the results!
- We worked on cutting open the canopy section of the P2 fuselage today. It is a big mile stone because we now finally can get access to the interior of the aircraft, assess the size and prepare structures.
- Requirements Based Engineering...What's that?? Equator Aircraft is applying Requirements Based Engineering (RBE) for Ground and Flight Test Programs. Ok, but what is RBE? The purpose of RBE is to provide a systematic engineering approach that enables the requirements to be defined and totally in-line with our needs. The RBE process provides a structure against which the requirements can be tested and all is under configuration control to ensure the changes are implemented in a coordinated way. Nowadays, RBE processes are strongly used in the new Airbus A350XWB or Boeing 787. Do you want to know more about RBE? More info here: http://www.n-w-c.de/files/RBE-Handout-DAY1_.pdf
- The P300 was developed by Equator Aircraft Company GmbH in 1981. Flew about 300 test hours. More vids on this can be watched on our YT channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/equatoraircraft
- We had a good meeting with the father of the Equator system Guenter Poeschel in Erbach Germany after the AERO fair on Saturday. He´ll be 75 this year and still works 12hr days, developing his engine system the axial piston (AP) motor and other aircraft systems. We digged into the P300 to get a feel for how they built the structure and layout of the composites in this remarkable aircraft.
- Getting ready for the trip to Aero Friedrichshafen tomorrow, the single biggest gathering of aviation-nerds in Europe; always a blast! We will not have a stand there this year of course, because our prototype is only 20% complete, but rather you can look upon our group as a small mobile stand aiming offensively for cooperatives armed with ipads, flyers, business cards and lots of love for the game! If you´d like to contact us during the show please call 0047 970 39 469, or email mail@equtoraircraft.com.
- Did the final layers on the P2 fuselage this evening. After six hours of tedious work it was done. It´s looking sweet for sure!
- Equator is on the bill... Promoting future electric aviation.
- The people following our project should also follow this pioneering aircraft project being done in North America. Synergy might be a game changer for sure! From one small team of idealists to another: We love it!
- Great little series about aviation..
- We're experimenting with"air- lubrication" as a way to shorten planing distances in water. What is shown here is a network of paths that will case tubes with pressured air that will burst through thousands of tiny holes in the surface, thus giving the hull air bubbles to reduce friction. Some boat manufacturers are using this technology, with various output, but it's a different story with aircraft, because we only need a few seconds of air distribution and not a continuous flow.
- To all the awesome aircraft nerds out there; The materials used to strengthen the epoxy resins in the P2 are all represented in this image. It´s quite limited, but a very effective collection of fibres. Starting from the top: a super thin 80g uni-directional (one direction), that is used on most surfacing in 2 layers, most cases in a 45 deg angle to the dirction of movement. Then on rack 2 we have our force bearing Uni-dir hard core line up of fibres. Just to paint a picture; The thin one (50mm wide) on the right will carry 10 tons. We put these elongated in the force bearing areas on the surfaces that communicate with attachment points etc. Then there`s glass fibres 80g on rack 3. Then bi-directional Kevlar on 4 put on the lower fuselage to prevent bullits coming through the hull! And on 5 our "normal" 130g bi-directional cloth, pretty common to see. When the Aircraft is complete most of these rolls will be emty.. So, quick assessment - About half way there!
- These structural foam cores are used to support the fuselage as the plane bounces over waves! Each core has a stringer attached on the inside.
- After about 9 hrs of work, we got openings made in the light foam core, in which we put a harder grade core to cowork with the stringers that go inside. Note the pattern that reflects force movement put into the hull in water. Naval Architect Vincent Meertens is helping us place the stringers and calculate core hardness. Tomorrow tubing for air lubrication will be put in, and then we finish the skin!
- This weekend and all easter we will be pushing the P2 construction further. Starting with vertical stab sections, we're hoping to laminate the lower fuselage and finish up the horizontal stab! Happy Easter;)
- The SINETON unit used in the e-genious project that participated in the Green Flight Challenge. Question for us: what will power the P2 Excursion?
- In Slovenia we got to see the EMRAX UHP motor (in the rear), slightly larger but quite abit stronger UHP=Ultra High Power;)
- The P2 fuselage upper part now fully laminated. In the next stage we will be working on the lower half, before deviding the upper and lower part.
- Laminating the outside of the P2 fuselage!
- EQP2 Tail Section almost completed in CAD.
