What's '57.6 kW' in real money?

BEagle 30th Jun 2022 08:56

About 77 bhp.

The one they are testing you can do a battery swop in under 5 mins, thus as with a lox pot, they could go to a bay for servicing.

That’s a relief. I had visions of a row of zero emission trainers being charged up by a row of petrol driven power sets!

Watch about 45 secs in. 2 mins shows the other set.

Don't worry this aircraft will never see RAF service as some HQ staff weinie will probably require crews to wear a bone dome and G suite and then nobody will fit ....

NutLoose 30th Jun 2022 16:41

Even though the aircraft has a ballistic parachute!

The featured distributor says that the RAF has them. Is this true?

Seek and ye shall find today Aero Vodochody unveiled their new Emissionless jet
