66 TAURUS ELECTRO www.pipistrel.si Aircraft and systems on board REV. 0 Seats and safety belts Seats have no stiff internal structure and do not offer different settings. All Taurus ultralight motorgliders ship with H type safety belt attached to the fuselage at three mounting points. Pitot-Static lines The pitot tube is inside the nose-tip. Pitot lines made of plastic materials lead from there to the instrument panel and are secured from non-intentional damage. Static ports are located on both sides of the nose below the middle line and are marked with red circles. Static lines are led from the static ports to the instrument panel, are of composite materials and secured. Air brakes (spoilers) Spoilers are most commonly used to increase drag and steepen the final approach. During takeoff, climb and cruise spoilers MUST be retracted and locked (handle in cockpit in full forward position). To unlock and extend spoilers, pull the handle upwards. Flap settings Taurus Electro is equipped with flaperons which offer five (5) different flap settings. Apart from the limitations for extesion of +9° and +18° flaps, there are recommendations for the use of flaps with different speed-ranges and types of flight operation. Recommended speed ranges for certain flap settings in when gliding: flaps in negative position; -5° (up): flaps in neutral position; 0° (neutral): flaps in 1 st position; +5° (down): flaps in T position; +9° (down): flaps in L position: +18° (down): faster than 150 km/h km/h (80 kts) 120 - 150 km/h (65 - 80 kts) 90 - 120 km/h (50 - 65 kts) 80 - 90 km/h (43 - 50 kts) FINAL APPROACH - LANDING Water ballast reservoir Taurus Electro is equipped with a water ballast reservoir to provide for better control over the aircraft’s centre of gravity. The reservoir is placed in front-cabin and secured with two (2) fastening butterfly screws with as the retaining mechanism. The quantity of the reservoir is 9 litres (9 kg). Lever arm for centre of gravity calculations is -1800 mm. There are placards on the instrument panel indicating minimum and maximum allowable crew weight with and without (9 kg) water ballast. The mentioned figures are to be respected at all times! WARNING! Check the water balance reservoir in front-cabin and verify crew’s weight before every flight as it may influence the centre of gravity of aircraft to the point where it is no longer controlLable!
www.pipistrel.si Power plant, propeller and energy storage TAURUS ELECTRO 67 Aircraft and systems on board Taurus Electro has a out-runner motor mounted on top of the motor arm and provides direct-drive to the propeller. The motor is a 3-phase synchonus motor with permanent magnets, exibits high torque and above average efficiency ratings. The cooling is provided via incident air. The power controller is mounted inside the fuselage in an IP54 casing and is aircooled via a dedicated cooling duct. The system is controlled via the color-display EYSY-MAN cockpit interface instrument. It indicates the drive mode and important parameters to the pilot and provides the interface for engine retraction and extension. Everything is operated via two (2) toggle switches and a rotatable knob. The first toggle switch is the system enable (on/off) switch while the second toggle switch is the motor position selector »up/down« i.e. extended or retracted. This process is fully automated – the propeller is positioned and held in place while the motor extends or retracts. The pilot only selects the desired mode with the toggle switch. The rotary encoder acts as the throttle selector. The ESYS-MAN also communicates with the Battery-Management-System and delivers information about the state of charge , battery health information and monitors the charging. All components communicate via the CAN interface with a proprietary communication protocol.
