The Electric Standard Class Racer Right after its roll-out, the LS8 has become a favored aircraft with fantastic handling qualities. The neo version features enhenced flight characteristics as well as a better performance. How does that work? Today’s Standard Class gliders do not handle that good at their maximum take-off weight of 525kg. – Up […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_trash_the_other_posts":false,"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dg-aviation.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/17983"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dg-aviation.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dg-aviation.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dg-aviation.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dg-aviation.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17983"}],"version-history":[{"count":20,"href":"https:\/\/www.dg-aviation.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/17983\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28206,"href":"https:\/\/www.dg-aviation.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/17983\/revisions\/28206"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dg-aviation.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17983"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a>Both batteries weight 16kg each and allow a motor running time of round about one hour in level flight. If necessary, thrust enables to climb between 1,5 and 2 m\/s (3-4 kt\/s) depending on the batterie’s state of charge. You may recharge the batteries within 5-6 hours using the 600W standard chargers. Quick-charging solutions are available on demand.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/a>The electric motor does not require special maintenance and is free of life-time limits. It delivers 22kW with a full battery. Propeller and folding mechanism are adapted to the LS8 nose shape and guarantee a minimum of drag. Propeller including spinner need to be inspected every 50 hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

To activate the system you simply need to turn on the FES main switch and adjust the rpm needed on the FCU’s power-potentiometer. Instantly the electric motor will start to turn and allows up to 2m\/s climb rate. The propeller blades remain open due to centrifugal force.<\/p>\nTo switch-off the propulsion system you set motor power back to zero. The FCU will automatically stop the motor and align its propeller. Airstream pushes back the blades to the fuselage and by turning-off the FES main switch the system is deactived.<\/p>\n Simple Battery Management<\/h2>\n
