SCYLAX E10

We believe that SCYLAX’s E10 will represent a new standard in the single and twin-engine aircraft market in the form of reducing fuel use in the near future, which is a major cost saving in the aviation industry.

The current market for single/twin engine aircraft is saturated with older legacy models and, due to the fuel savings associated with newer aircraft and models does not justify the cost of purchasing aircraft in the secondary market. The worldwide market volume was in 2018 ~1.740 units per year and USD 2.7 billion revenue. The all electric aircraft could build a real new market replacing the current old fleet with piston engines & turboprop propulsion by leading the way to market and being a pioneer of electric aircraft, the E10 will be the natural replacement for companies looking to acquire or replace their existing aging small commuter fleet.

 

Key Facts

 

Enviromentally friendly

Reduced or negligible emission and with the provision for solar power fed by renewable energy.

Simple

At the heart of efficiency is simplicity. Unlike internal combustion engines with multitudes of moving parts and hydraulic systems, the SCYLAX system is simple, and only involves one moving part.

Less Maintenance

With no spark plugs, gears, belts, and other traditional mechanical parts that wear, SCYLAX’ electric propulsion systems are refreshingly free from the normal maintenance schedules that aircraft owners have become accustomed to.

 

Range

The E6 and the E10, will be at the beginning purely electric powered. With the existing battery technology we can cover emission free (CO2 and noise) a 300 km leg. In about 10 years more than 600 km with same battery packs volume and weight.

Battery Technology

As intensive ongoing research that is being conducted, we expect a breakthrough in battery technology that will be a game-changer for SCYLAX, as well as for the industry overall. After detailed discussions with our battery suppliers, we can see an average increase in battery storage capacity of about 5 % per year – and with reduced charging times.

Highest passenger comfort

1.4 m cabin width, min. 800 mm seat abreast and attractive design.

 

The Solution: SCYLAX E10

 

The creation of an electric RAM network

  • Usage of existing small airfield and regional airports network

  • Collaboration with existing small airlines

  • Establishing of many new small but agile airlines

  • Development of ”air connection as a service” business, in cooperation with partners

  • Very low noise level of 55 dB - equivalent to sound of light rain. access to inhabited areas

  • Operates on small airfields, e-STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) – Takeoff in less than 100 m

  • Very low stall speed (VSO about 50 kts)

  • Zero CO2 emission

  • Range: up to 300 km now (in ten years – 500 km)

  • Robustness against strong side wind up to 40 kts . Optimized for operation in rough climates under bad weather conditions.

  • Business class comfort for passengers:

  • over 800 mm seat abreast (leg room), 1.3 m cabin width

  • Extremely low level of noise and vibration

  • Total traveling costs about 0.65 EUR/km/passenger

  • 50 % less operating costs

  • Two large passenger/cargo doors: very fast getting on/getting off: 5 min stop and go

  • Flexible change of configuration: passengers to cargo in 30 minutes

SCYLAX E10
 

SCYLAX E10 – eSTOL with a very low noise pattern 

 

Noisepattern comparison: A320 CEO, A320 NEO, SCYLAX E10 
Maximum Noise over 85dB
E10 noise level: 55 dB
Comparable to a quite office
8 times lower noise level than A320 NEO

Noise calculations done by HELIX Propellers and FH Aachen (University of Applied Sciences)

Acc. To ICAO Ch. 10; App. 16 and experimental callibration done by Helix Propellers as approved aircraft noise measurement entity

 

Perfect aerodynamics

 

Detailed CFD Calculations including dynamic propeller model and fowler flap deflection

demonstrated a start roll distance of under 100 m

At zero speed the Propellers slipstream generates about 1000 kg lift!
