The Evektor EPOS ("Electric powered small aircraft")Шаблон:Cn, also called the SportStar EPOS, is a Czech electric ultralight and light-sport aircraft under development by Evektor-Aerotechnik of Kunovice. It was introduced at the AERO Friedrichshafen show in 2013.[1]
The aircraft first flew at the end of March 2013.[1]
Design and development
The EPOS is based upon the Evektor SportStar RTC, a Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight and CS-LSA light-sport aircraft. It uses the RTC model's fuselage, mated to a new wing of longer span. It features a cantilever low-wing, an enclosed cockpit with two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration under a bubble canopy, fixed tricycle landing gear and a single electric motor in tractor configuration.[1]
The aircraft is predominantly made from aluminum sheet. The initial electric motor employed was the Rotex RE X907 of Шаблон:Convert at 330 volts. In 2014 the design was upgraded with a Rotex RE BB 90-5, a brushless, DC, liquid cooled powerplant that produces Шаблон:Convert at 3,000 rpm and weighs Шаблон:Convert. It is controlled by a MGM Compro HBC-Series V7, 300400/EPOS1 controller with a maximum continuous current of 300 amperes and a maximum supply voltage of 400 volts. The batteries are Kokam Company, Ltd. SLPB100216216H cells, with 45 cells connected in series, producing 378 volts.[1][2]
In February 2017 the company still described the design as "under development".[2]
