Since the wing tips can be used for both types, the Phenix / Phoenix is ideal for club training in gliding clubs. The skills for glider pilots are rounded off by the fact that the tow ability of the electric version is currently being checked in a test program. In the first trials, the Phenix pulled a 300 kg UL Test Atlas-type glider with 2.5-meter steps until it released. Next, towing tests with a Discus and other even heavier aircraft are planned. To do this, Martin is working together with MGM Compro on a more powerful motor, which will then also have more efficient cooling. A drop of bitterness, the price: “The first Phenix cost around 200,000 euros,” says Martin, “a version with a Rotax 80 PS costs around 85,000 euros. The high price is because the motor, inverter, battery and BMS were custom-made. Especially the price of the 150 kilo 37 kW / h battery cost over 40,000 euros. But also the other components will be significantly cheaper in series production, especially if you can work with other manufacturers when buying batteries. ”Despite the high price, the first orders from Scandinavia and the USA were made already. 4 VIEW front backwards sides up down good (for a tail wheel) good good good medium MANUFACTURE: Phoenix Air sro Pozarniku 321 56151 Letohrad / CZ phone: +420 -724 084 966 e-mail: info@phoenixair.cz Webpage: www.phoenixair.cz The nose wheel version is primarily intended for flight schools; it is still under development. 52 e Flight <strong>Journal</strong> 2 / 2<strong>02</strong>0
