DESCRIPTION ElectroClub ®
SPECIFICATIONS
ElectroClub's specifications arise from a detailed knowledge of the light aviation market, customers and environment constraints, as well as of a vision of the long-term sector.
- ElectroClub is equipped with a silent, economic and not polluting electrical motorization, as well as with a propeller specifically designed for this motorization.
- Energy storage system of ElectroClub will use several technologies: batteries, fuel cell, photovoltaic systems, and of course mixed solutions. The aimed endurance is 3h00.
- The plane is built with the "wood and fabric " technology, with 100 % of natural materials. The finish requires no toxic paints or varnishs.
- ElectroClub's design (flying wing) allows to reduce the aerodynamic noise generated by the interactions between wing and fuselage, and to take an important mass in a big volume.
- The noise in the cockpit, very lower than that of the existing machines, tires much less the pilot, and allows a bigger safety of the flights.
- The price of the flight hour of this electrical two-seater plane will be more interesting than its thermic equivalent.
ElectroClub is a very innovating plane : design, construction, electrical motorization and new energy storage systems.

FLYING WING
The Flying Wing is one possible configuration for large capacity aircraft which promises higher efficiency than conventional configurations.ONERA (French Aerospace Lab) and DLR (Germany Aerospace Center) are working on this configuration.
The program ElectroClub is going to benefit from ONERA's researches on Flying Wings. ONERA is one of ELECTRAVIA's major partners.
