We have already heard of plans to build a four-seater Volare Volta private airplane hybrid GT4 they called "the most technologically advanced aircraft available anywhere on Earth." Guess what? They are putting into production, which has already begun taking orders.
This aircraft can fly incredibly advanced and take off on its own using only the electric motor, while the gasoline engine starts when the battery drops below the 25 percent capacity, recharge, even on the air. There is also an economic force of those planes, in the sense that the time between the revision is reduced by a factor of 10 impressive, as indicated by the manufacturer.
This is possible mainly because the "Unit EViation" engine, with only one moving part. Furthermore, this type of engine also adds more power and torque from the plane than any internal combustion engine century 20th century. This statement comes with a sort of irrelevance, taking into account that we are now in the 21st century.
The various engines of this plane to offer different food products, the gasoline engine - 180 hp, while the unit EViation - 300 HP. The first is probably used to recharge the batteries and electric assist. In addition, data sheet also tells us that the plan needs a meter 430 (1400 feet) to take off, you can climb to 550 meters (1800 feet) per minute, has a landing distance of about 460 meters (1500 feet), you can cruise speed of 296 kmh 12,500 feet high and can reach a maximum height of 24,000 feet
The maximum speed can reach the sea level is a huge 310 knots (about 574 kmh), style faster than the Cessna-s, the minimum speed required for flight is only 65 knots (120 kph), while the landing speed is about 139 km / h (75 knots).
The current CEO of Volare Volta, Paul Peterson, said, regarding the powertrain, "the GT4 electric motor, which is made of nuclei combined two smaller engines, is in an aluminum housing tight. It can generate 600 horsepower (450 kW) and 400 to maintain hp (300 kW) along the flight. "
Talking about the energy system as well, because it is very important: the 900 pound (408 kg) lithium polymer battery, which includes 236 cells, is a big part of the total weight of 2600 pounds GT4 (1179 kg). Battery charging is served by the gasoline engine of 1.5 liters combined with a fuel tank of 23 gallons (105 liters). This, taken together, add one kilometer 1852 (1000 miles) endurance.
The looks on the other side are quite ambiguous, but pleasant. The plane formed by the parties that give a more futuristic, such as swept wings, fins from many angles and points upward, and figures that give an elegant character to it - the general shape of the fuselage and windows . Covered with hand made of carbon fiber, giving it a metallic sheen, clean look of the aircraft may also appeal to lovers of style. And this is where the configuration based on the propeller to look back, we remember his unusually high-tech character.
There is a note inside the futuristic as well, with a cabin that has a system of glass touchscreen and optional synthetic vision HUD. Passengers also enjoy high-tech devices through folding tables, opening different screens, USB ports, AV jacks and connectors.
The price of such a high-end luxury and technology has remained relatively low, around $ 495 000 per unit. During 2012, 11 pieces will be delivered, so that next year there are 26 GT4 in stake.
