e.SAT Silent Air Taxi Hybrid-Electric Aircraft Specs and Price
aircraftconcept.com – Silent Air Taxi is a hybrid-electric aircraft developed by the German manufacturer e.SAT for urban and regional air transportation at the request of the operator. The aircraft will be an air mobility solution that offers a calm flight experience for business trips, shuttle flights and short transportation trips throughout Germany.
Silent Air Taxi was introduced to the public in June 2019 and is expected to make its maiden flight in 2022 before entering service two years later. The e.SAT company also plans to develop an automatic cargo version of the aircraft.
The development of Silent Air Taxi involves several contractors consisting of MTU Aero Engine as a supplier of hybrid-aero engines, e.SAT Powertrain as a supplier of electro-hybrid drives, and RWTH Aachen University, RWTH Aachen Campus, Innovation Factory and FH Aachen as an infrastructure center for development the plane.
The maximum take-off weight of Silent Air Taxi during the flight's starting point is 1,600 kg. This aircraft requires a runway of around 400 m to depart and land. Its ability to operate on shorter runways will enable aircraft to function in many airports and aerodromes.
The engine will be installed behind the fuselage and protected by sound absorbing material to reduce vibration and noise effects, creating an environment for smooth and quiet travel. Noise will not be heard beyond 100 m. Overall flight efficiency is ensured by the use of motorbikes during take-off, climbing and flight level. Silent Air Taxi will have a cruising speed of 300 km / h with a range of trips of up to 1,000 km without stopping between.
