production companies and different car companies share the same engine or drive train.\u00a0 Calin Gologan and PC Aero have expanded their offerings over the last decade, and have also expanded their partnerships.\u00a0 Now, to make his twin-motored commuter liner a reality, he has partnered with a Chinese investor to produce the Scylax E6 and E10 aircraft.<\/p>\n<p>Although the E6 was, \u201cAnnounced at Friedrichshafen\u2019s Aero Expo and displayed (at least in model form) at the 2013 Paris Air Show, the Elektro E6 is the technology platform for a future, all electric transport aircraft.\u201d\u00a0 Today\u2019s SCYLAX E6 remains visibly the same as the 2013 version, a full carbon-composite structure with solar cells on the wing and able to carry a payload of 480 kilograms (1,065 pounds).<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Elektro E6 - All Electric Aircraft\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KrcpWmLORMc?feature=oembed\"

GmbH promoted the E6<\/a> as<strong>, \u201c<\/strong>The technology platform for the future commercial e-aviation.\u201d\u00a0 The team hoped to build a Proof of Concept vehicle in less than three years and achieve CS23 Certification (equivalent to FAR Part 23) in 10 years.<\/p>\n<p>As promised in 2013, \u201cThe Elektro E6 will include all systems of a normal commercial aircraft in the final version, including retractable landing gear, anti-ice system, cabin pressure and air conditioning, according to the company plan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now a Chinese private company China Blue Airlines has added a 75 million euro stake in the project.\u00a0 The deal, formalized in September at the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs, gives China Blue full ownership of the Chinese market for the already-flying E1 and E2 solar-powered machines.\u00a0 This might mean large-scale production of the single- and two-seat machines, much as Pipistrel\u2019s Chinese manufacturing plan.<\/p>\n<p>The partners should complete feasibility studies in 2020, with certification finished by 2022, leading to production.<\/p>\n<p>Rosario de Luca, managing director of\u00a0 SCYLAX GmbH (and of EADCO GmbH), and with Calin Gologan, explains, &#8220;\u2019We want to start series production in 2024,\u2019 of the E6 and E10, following the setup of manufacturing and testing of the new models.\u00a0 The E1 and E2 are well established.\u00a0 German production will continue, but no German firms have expressed interest in the twin-motor craft.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13562\" style=\"width: 518px\"

company intends to develop the world&#8217;s first commercial electric aircraft to series maturity.\u00a0And together with the Chinese partner, the world&#8217;s largest research, development and production center for solar and electric aircraft is to be set up in China.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The six and ten-passenger craft are expected to cruise at 360 kilometers per hour (223 mph) over their 400 kilometer (248 mile) range.\u00a0 A sign of their projected good performance, takeoff run is claimed to be 300 meters (984 feet).\u00a0 This should allow use of small regional airports.<\/p>\n<p><em>Airliners.doc<\/em> reports, \u201cIn addition, both models are modular.\u00a0Thus, the machines can be used with little effort and low cost as a cargo or passenger machine.\u00a0Also conceivable is a special military version.\u00a0The batteries can be charged within twenty minutes.\u00a0The price for the E6 version is the manufacturer with around one million euros.\u00a0The larger version is almost twice as expensive at 1.7 million euros.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We wish the partnership and the project all the best.\u00a0 These would be very nice rides
