Abstract

Shenyang Aerospace University has been committed to the development of new energy electric aircraft. The development project of a type of two-seater light electric aircraft was approved and started in June 2012, using a 40 kW rare earth permanent magnet synchronous DC motor as the power source. With all-composite body and leaf spring landing gear structure, a cruise lift to drag ratio of 24.1, take-off weight of 500 kg, a maximum flight velocity of 160 km/h, a cruise velocity of 110 km/h, the electric aircraft has the characteristics of zero emission, low noise, low operation cost and easy operation and maintenance. According to the CAAC CCAR-21 and the American ASTM standard, the electric aircraft type design approval TDA and the production certification PC are completed.
