With its solar panels integrated with all the hydrofoil surfaces and battery pads, there is no more need to worry about having to land in the country, especially in stony areas or vineyards. At the press of a button the electric engine with wide-diameter folding blades can be turned on. This will enable you to regain height or to find a more suitable and safer landing area.

PRIVATE AERODYNAMIC PLANE

          Amongst all the different models of 4-seater planes sold in the world, very few give a high performance at a reasonable price per hour's flying. In fact, to reach this goal the restrictions are extreme and only a design optimised at every level can achieve this. Whether at an aerodynamics level, use of materials, cooling or propulsion system etc., nothing must be neglected. We have worked as a team to this end and we are now in a position to present to you our project for a plane which we have christened ãBR.5ä.

Our aim is to enable a dynamic business to develop a series of crafts in declined compounds under different motorizations, thereby placing it in a dominating position in the world market. In light of the results of our research on the quality and performance of different models of planes on sale at the moment, it seemed perfectly realistic and profitable to envisage, in the short term, the development of a flying school and of flights with optimised aerodynamics which meet criteria for economy and performance. It would target schools, clubs, businesses and individuals.

1  Qptimised aerodynamics, due to

• - an engine with a very small frontal area

• - an engine with a liquid cooling system

• - a small main frame fuselage

• - the adoption of a bio-convex profile with a laminar pocket

• - retractable tricycle landing gear

• - a small wet area

• - a small drag factor

2. Maximum safety and piloting pleasure, due to

• - an advanced soundproofing of the engine and emissions integrated into the engine's design

• - a gust absorber system

• - winged air brakes to control the approaching descent without changing the induction pressure
  Necessary for a shim plane, the air brake guarantees safety in the event of an engine failure when landing in the country

• - a very low breaking-off speed possible because of the combination of various lifting devices
  

3. A low running cost, due to :

• -   low consumption engine- from 195gr/cv/h to 158gr/cv/h

• -   an exceptionally enduring engine composed of a small number of moving components (50% less than in a conventional engine)

• -   minimum maintenance of the airframe, possible through the use of compound materials

• -   high airframe potential (at least 20 000h)

• -   an engine which carries no risk of thermal shock
  

4. Multifunctional, maximum profitability:

•  -   school, qualifications B, PP, 1FR

• -   travel

5. Advanced ergonomics including

• -    positioning pilots and passengers for long flights

• -    landing gear at variable height (30 cm) to make access to the cockpit easier

6. Exceptional performance, due to

• -   a propeller of a wide diameter- 81% output

• -   a low-speed engine (and therefore propeller) rotation

• -   electronic control of the propeller pad for constant running at maximum output

• -   low fuel consumption

• -   a wide use of pre-impregnated compound materials giving a small mass when empty

• -   a small smt.cfe

• -   aerobatics capacity (+6g, -5g)

Other parameters which are also important, but which we will not go into great detail on here, were integrated into the schedule of conditions to homogenise the BR.5. Because of the great technological progress in recent decades, it seems all the more justifiable today to imagine the investment necessary for the certification of a modem aircraft such as this, which integrates the latest technical innovations.

The BR.5 reaches, with only 200 cv, a cruising speed of l93Kts (at 75% of its power ie. 150 cv) and a maximum speed of2l 1 Kts at FL 50.
The construction of two other models is in progress with the view to creating a complete range:
*an aircraft identical to the latter, but turbo compressed, with a power of 300cvs;
*a flying school plane of the same configuration but with a lighter airframe, motorised by 120cv.

VTOL

600 km per hour for a VTOL is now possible with our innovative technology in turning sails (this is not illustrated for the obvious reason of confidentiality). Intended for transporting passengers or merchandise, this VTOL is a total change of approach to the helicopter as we know it today. This is neither a craft with a tilt rotor, nor a craft with advanced vector thrust, but a design with unusually-shaped rotors and blades which allows vertical or non-vertical takeoffs and landings, according to the pilot's choice. Take off and landing like a plane or a helicopter is a reality which new materials allow today.
