VoltAero takes e-aviation to new heights
March 10, 2020
VoltAero has marked a significant milestone in developing its all-new family of Cassio e-aircraft with initiation of flight testing using Safran Electrical & Power’s ENGINeUS™ smart electric motors.
The company is claiming a 50% reduction in fuel usage for their power unit in a helicopter application. Video of test flight of their test bed aircraft included with their press release.
Really interesting to contrast the size of the electric engine nacelles to that for an ICE or turbine engine.
