FIRST EUROPEAN FLIGHT ELECTRICAL RENCONTRO
• The 8 and 9 September 2012 • Carpentras
The committee has organized PACA Carpentras, in close collaboration with the RSA and FFPLUM, a first, that a meeting around the electric flight.
the Beautiful World
The airfield Edgar Soumille (LFNH) greeted us in perfect weather for this great gathering RSA with its beautiful historic aircraft. Although they are enrolled, some exhibitors have declined a few days before the event due to work overload but AREVE, PARAWATT, PROTOPLANE, IPSA GREEN BACK BONE, ALISPORT were on the tarmac for our coach stand committee.
At 11 am, Christian Piccioli inaugurated the event along with Dominique Méreuze, came flying from Gap, both joined by the mayor of Carpentras, Francis Adolphe sir. Journalists, Eliette Gensac La Provence and Vaucluse Matin Eliette Girard were also there to account for this regional premiere is open to national and international. One thing is certain: the passion was the rendezvous and the first test was a gathering of enthusiasts and high quality through the speakers on Saturday afternoon then animated a roundtable on the future of electric flight:
• History of electric flight and later by Charles Donnefort
"My colleague Simon Reha and I are both students at the IPSA. More precisely we are old because we finished our last year and will soon be graduates.
So we are aerospace engineering school and we had the idea to create the association IPSA GREEN in September 2009. It took a year to realize it, to decide on the overall design of the device and find funds to start.
The device is called Buselec is a tandem two-seater motoplaneurULM electric motor (30 kW), which is designed for optimized use electricity. It will therefore be able to reach more than 2000 m and fly like a glider (the fineness revolve around 20). I try to install it a parachute cell (the location of the attachment points will be difficult to determine), but its maximum is, anyway, less than 450 kg. '
• Electric motors by Louis Fourdan
Louis Fourdan lives near Paris. SUPELEC engineer, he worked for 40 years in the commission of tests radars. Since his retirement, he became interested in radio-controlled model airplanes that led him to create the brushless motor. Following a conference on the subject, a participant came to ask him if he could build a 10-kilowatt motor running at 2600 rpm for electric paramotor ... and voila!
• Solution hybrid fuel cell / battery by Teophile Horde
Teophile horde preparing a thesis on "The integration of fuel cells in aviation."
Aeronautical engineer, he began with the Faculty of Physics of Orsay for 4 years with one master folder to enter the second year of engineering at Poitiers ENSMA then integrate-Mines Paris Tech and pursue a course graduation in Sophia Antipolis in four labs with Patrick Achard as director of research.
• Optimisation of the cell by Béla Nogrady
PhD in computer science and aeronautical engineer, Béla Nogrady became known in the 80s in the first ULM designing efficient composite as Campana.
Today, Béla worked for the company Protoplane that designs, develops, manufactures and certifies modifications such as installing equipment photo, radome, masts retransmission ...
Protoplane prestigious board on devices like the Beechcraft 350 or Falcon 50 but do not forget its origin ULM. Indeed, Béla currently designing the Ultra-E, an electric version of the Ultra seater microlight which flew in 2005. Our committee is well aware that this is only the beginning and that we must leave it time to change attitudes and interests, but beyond this simple observation, it is proud have initiated this meeting to have been followed by the federation and warmly thanks the RSA national and local partnership and logistics without which nothing could be done ... See you in two years for a second meeting as we already announced Piccioli Christian!
