Added solar power effect on efficiency !

Next I am going to add 9 m2 of solar power ( extending 1,2 m each wing ) and getting rid of the main engines and enlarging the fan at the rear into 1.4 m dia using 2 x 20 kW electric engines....and reducing the cpacity to 7 people of which 6 will be cyclists powering the second engine running the huge fan..producing 4-8 hp. Altogether the "continuous" output will be around 18-20 hp and with precgarged batteries the take off power 50-55 hp. Leaving the main engines out will reduce weight 140 kilos and leaving one man out 80 kilos..all this will mean ability to use enhanced structure to limit empty weight into 340 kilos ( speed is reduced too )making MTOW into 860 kilos. This hybrid ac would then fly at 125 mph using no fossil fuels at all !

  2. I was just thinking about 5 minutes ago that what I am about to publish about in 5 minutes about the miracle MPG will cause some people flip over ( or think that I am acomplete nut case ! ).

    Thanks anyway !

  3. It’s a way to complete green living by saving energy using solar panels. It is an excellent way to promote environmental sustainability. This can be applied to any technology, devices or even vehicles.

  4. I agree..there is a change if you have all things lined up correctly...dynamics of the ac, drag reduced and mist of all a intelligent lite and strong stucture that allows some 35-40 m2 panel area for a 8-10 seater. It needs the precharged battery to get up above the clouds...but then it could be flyable till the dawn.
