It’s the holiday season, and hard to believe the end of the year is already here. I swear time went by much more slowly when I was a kid! As many of you know, after a long time of serving the needs of our aviation community, Bear Perkins and his wife Betty have decided to retire. While they will be missed, I do wish them the very best as they enjoy a well-deserved retirement! A reminder for everyone: First Flight is no longer the insurance broker for usua. You won’t be receiving renewal notices as your insurance nears expiration, as usua has never sent those, and O2 Sports Insurance has no way of knowing who needs insurance. So, please check your policy for the expiration date, then contact Kandace at O2 using the information that you’ll find in this issue. The Illinois Ultralight Advisory Council is now under (mostly) new management, and has a new location for the 2020 Symposium. See inside for the when and the where! Paul Fiebich tried something new at this year’s AirVenture: he spent a lot of time visiting the Innovation Showcase. Paul found some really cool items that are being developed, and he’s been good enough to tell us about them. Need to get some ground school for that gyro you want to fly? Well, Tim O’Connor is getting ready to present another online course, and there’s still time to sign up. Details can be found inside this issue! This year, Norman Surplus was able to complete his attempt to fly around the world in his gyro. This is an attempt that took a bit longer than planned, and Ira McComic has the story for you. Looking for reasons to become a powered parachute pilot? Roy’s Top 10 list gives you some, with a bonus 11th reason. Chris Pine has a reminder for us of why it’s so important to fly our small craft responsibly and respectfully. We’ve got the final installment of the interrupted tale of Intrepid Explorer Jeff Hamann flying his powered paraglider along the Colombian coast. As usual, he’s got spectacular pictures to go with his story! From me to you, I hope that this holiday season finds you warm, well, and able to fly. I thank you for your patience with our irregular publishing schedule – your understanding has been a boon that I appreciate more than I can say. Goodbye for now, and I’ll talk to you all next year! Editorial
www.PSFmagazine.com | November-December 2019 | 5 4 | November-December 2019 | Powered Sport Flying Support Our Advertisers Letters to the Editor Roy: Why do we “torture” our flight students with the “obsolete” E-6B? As you state in your article “Hating on the E6B", and I quote “ . . . engineers and proper technical people strive to use the best tool to get the job done.” As it turns out, the humble E-6B, developed by Philip Dalton in 1937, just over 80 years ago, is still the best tool to get the job done. • It needs no batteries. Ever. • It needs no internet connection. • It needs no wires to add to cockpit clutter. • You can drop it and it doesn’t care. • You can drop it again, and it still won’t care. • You can get it wet, and it doesn’t care (although the cardboard ones will get soggy). • You don’t have to fumble with tiny buttons. • If you lose it, it isn’t the end of the world. • They don’t cost an arm and a leg. • They don’t require periodic software updates. • They don’t have ‘bugs’ which the vendor claims are features. • You can often find them used at flea markets everywhere, the going price is $5, and they work precisely as well and are every bit as accurate as a brand new one, even though it might be 40 or 50 years old. (Try that with any electronic device!) I personally have taught over 4,000 students how to use the mechanical E-6B. Most of them carried it into the room like it was a dead rat, after couple of hours, they carried them out hugging them. I got comments like “I don’ t know why I was so afraid of this” and “This is easy!” and “Wow, that ’s pretty slick!” My objection to electronic E-6Bs is that they absolutely do not know that you cannot convert kilometers to Imperial Gallons. The student punches the keys and gets a number. The fact that the number they got is total nonsense doesn’t matter, nobody argues with a computer. In fact, a recent study (Google “study on deliberately wrong calculator results,” it is the first hit) showed that on a deliberately rigged pocket calculator with simple math questions, almost nobody noticed if the answers were off 15%. In fact, the answers had to be off by 120% before any significant number of people said “Hey, that can’ t be right.” How do you feel about discovering that your fuel available will only keep you flying for three hours instead of the six and some hours the computer said? Explaining to the engine that gee, we are out of fuel because you accidentally pressed a wrong key won’t make the noise start up again. And how do you feel about trusting your life to a pair of double A batteries from the local discount store supplied by the lowest bidder and made by child labor in a ragged tent in some ghastly third world country? (Not that the ‘name’ brands are that much better, they’re just more expensive.) You will also need to remember to carry spare batteries. Arriving at oh-dark-hundred at some deserted airport way out in the boondocks isn’t the time to discover that the spare batteries are already IN your electronic E-6B, are dead and you are now grounded until Monday morning when you can start looking for fresh ones. With the mechanical E-6B, once you learn how to use it (which isn’t a real big deal), you’ll be able to look at it and say “No, that answer doesn’ t make sense, let me try again.” The E-6B will let you quickly, easily and accurately calculate just about everything a pilot needs, and that explains why they are still around, still in use, and still being taught. About the only thing it won’t calculate is how you will pay for the fuel. In my experience, I have found more than a few student pilots who are utterly dependent on their iWhatevers, and are completely panic stricken without them. There was actually an accident when someone’s gps failed, they declared an emergency (the engine and the radios were working just fine), decided to make an emergency landing, messed it up, and got themselves killed. The low tech, quaint and old-fashioned idea of looking out the window never occurred to them. (Aviate, communicate, navigate, anyone?) And if you get a chance, take a peek into the flight bag of a big iron pilot. You’ll find an E-6B nestled in there, because I’m Lovin’ It (The E6B) Two sample responses to the E6B editorial in the last issue from readers with a slightly different point of view, one from an instructor point of view and another from a pilot. by Our Readers the E-6B always works. The numbers will be bigger on a 7X7 than with a 150, but the principal is exactly the same. With Best Regards, Mike Arman, AGI, N150EM Mike Arman has been fooling around with airplanes since about 1975, and got his pilot certificate in 1977. He bought a Cessna 150 in 1982, and still has it. He is an faa Certificated Advanced Ground School Instructor, and was an faa Aviation Safety Counselor. He taught caa/jaa/easa ground school for 11 years (part time) and all his 4,000 or so students over those 11 years survived him. He has recently been teaching cfis how to teach their students. He and his wife live on an airstrip in east central Florida, and are developing a small fly-in community. He is the author and the publisher of three aviation related books, which are sold by Aircraft Spruce, PilotMall.com, Amazon, and on his own website. The E6B Air Navigation Computer. Image courtesy of the National Air and Space Museum. (Where Roy still thinks this belongs. ) Greetings Roy: I’m a bit slow on getting back to you. To take a saying from the Tom Selleck movie “Monte Walsh,” “You’re certainly entitled to your opinion Chet (Roy), but I happen to see it different.” Yes, the E6B is an antique, but it works. The magnetic compass is centuries old, but it works. Granted, I had no practical use for these flying a ‘Soarmaster’ or an American Aerolights Eagle B (couldn’t fly far enough to get lost) but I actually had fun learning the use of these when preparing for my Sport Pilot test in ‘06. Electronic gadgets are cool but they can go south on you. I still advocate the basics. If we’re to pass on the E6B, let’s forget the compass also. Sure would save time not learning silly things like compass swing or the acronym ands (remember that?). How about the Orienteering Instructor telling his students, “ Forget those compasses, we have gps. Batteries die? There’s always the sun (unless it ’s overcast or night) or look for moss growing on the north side of a tree (unless you’re in a Louisiana swamp).” If anything, the E6B, protractor/plotter and a sectional chart would at least give students a break from staring at electronic widgets! In closing, keep up the great work you and Vickie Betts do with usua. Happy (air) Trails! Ken Kranik

The ftn is an 8-digit unique and permanent number assigned to each registered user in the faa’s Integrated Airman Certification and Rating Application (iacra) system. Beginning January 13, 2020, all airmen must have a ftn prior to taking any faa akt. To obtain a ftn in iacra, applicants will need to register at the following link and follow the instructions provided: https://iacra.faa.gov/iacra/Default.aspx. All airmen must use iacra to establish a faa Tracking Number (ftn) before taking any faa airman knowledge test. This identification number will be printed on the applicant’s Airmen Knowledge Test Results (aktr) in replacement of the Applicant ID number. The applicant is responsible for obtaining the ftn, and in no way involves the asi’s, tpe’s, or dpe’s. The ftn is required for the written exams only and does not change faa Policy, as it only changes the ‘form and manner’ for the applicant and not the process. Also, beginning January 2020, the faa will no longer require an embossed, raised seal on the aktr. Examiners and asi’s will no longer be required to verify that an embossed/raised seal is present on the aktr before conducting certification tasks requiring the airman to present a valid aktr. Replacement Test Reports If an applicant loses his/her original aktr, he/she can receive a replacement from the vendor for all knowledge tests taken after January 13, 2020. Applicants will have the ability to print their aktr directly from the vendor’s website. For all knowledge tests taken before January 13, 2020, applicants must contact the faa Airmen Certification Office (afb-720) for copies of aktrs. Free Admission For Ages 18-And-Under At EAA Airventure Oshkosh 2020 Young people ages 18 and under will be admitted free to eaa AirVenture Oshkosh 2020, as a way to introduce more youth to the possibilities in the world of flight. The 68th annual Experimental Aircraft Association fly-in convention will be July 20-26 at Wittman Regional Airport. The Boeing Company is financially supporting this effort for the next two years to encourage more aviation-minded families and their children to attend the event that brings more than 10,000 aircraft from around the world to Oshkosh each year. “eaa’s mission is growing participation in aviation and in 2019, after eaa reduced admission costs for students, we saw an increased number of families coming to AirVenture,” said Jack J. Pelton, eaa’s ceo/chairman of the board. “Inspiring young people and giving them a first look at what ’s possible in aviation is only achievable if they can get in the gate. This effort will build on the more than 60 years where AirVenture has earned a reputation as a wonderful family event. We’re incredibly appreciative of Boeing’s support and like eaa, Boeing is committed to inspiring the next generation of aeronautical innovators. Because of Boeing’s belief in our mission, we can invite youth from around the world to experience AirVenture at no cost.” The free youth admission is available throughout AirVenture week. Along with Boeing’s financial support, a small fee on AirVenture advanced purchase adult admissions and value-added opportunities such as the Aviators Club will support this free admission opportunity for young people. “At Boeing, we aim to inspire and prepare the next generation of innovators, and eaa AirVenture provides a unique opportunity to encourage the natural curiosity of young people,” said William Ampofo, Vice President, Business Aviation, General Aviation & oem Services, Boeing Global Services. “We are proud to provide an opportunity for thousands of youth to experience this world-class event, and be inspired to use their talents, creativity and vision for the future of aviation.” Longstanding youth activities and programs at AirVenture include such popular offerings as the hands-on KidVenture display and program area; technology, innovation, and education options at Aviation Gateway Park; and extraordinary events such as daily air shows and more than 1,500 forums, workshops, and seminars.

www.PSFmagazine.com | November-December 2019 | 9 8 | November-December 2019 | Powered Sport Flying Press Pass Leap into Aviation on February 29th, 2020 Southwestern Illinois College Sam Wolf Granite City Campus We are getting closer to the 40th Annual Ultralight & Light Sport Aircraft Symposium and there is much to be done. We appreciate the great hospitality provided in recent years by Greenville’s American Farm Heritage Museum, but feel our new venue, with its college aviation mission, will help us continue to grow our event. We achieved our first major milestone by visiting and locking in our new venue. Southwestern Illinois College (swic) will be our new host at their SamWolf Granite City Campus, conveniently located a half-mile south of I-270 at 4950 Maryville Road, Granite City, Illinois. The campus is home to their Aviation Maintenance Technology program and has plenty of room for all our activities, including the inside display of ultralight aircraft. Our next steps are to reconfirm past sponsors and exhibitors, recruit new ones, and line up our slate of speakers and exhibitors. We’ll also be looking for door prizes, raffle prizes and giveaways. If you have ideas or leads for good sources for those, please let me or Vickie Betts know. The facility will be accessible Friday, February 28th, for exhibitor set-up. The doors will open at 0730 on ‘Leap Day,’ February 29th, for coffee and scrambled eggs and pancakes, and time to meet and greet old friends and exhibitors. Registration begins at 0800, with opening remarks and the first session beginning at 0830. A lunch of pulled pork and turkey will be available on premises for $7, and our host will provide guided tours of the A&P and Industrial Technology labs. We’ll have door prizes and drawings throughout the day and plan to finish up around 1530. Our current sponsors include swic, Illinois Division of Aeronautics, Illinois Ultralight Advisory Council, Powered Sport Flying Magazine, Wicks Aircraft and Motorsports, the faa, and Experimental Aircraft Association Chapters 64 and 331 (The Gateway Ultralight Association Chapter). I look forward to working with everyone to ensure success of this year’s program. My contact information is: Bob McDaniel at dusterpilot@charter.net. In addition to a new location, there are some leadership changes, as well. I’m picking up the leadership reins to organize this year’s Symposium along with help from past organizers and some energetic new ones. Although Roy Beisswenger will not be available to participate in the symposium, he will continue to maintain and update our website, www.safety-seminar.com. Vickie Betts will continue to provide her great organizational and administrative skills. 40th Annual Ultralight & Light Sport Aircraft Symposium The United States Ultralight Association (usua) would like to remind members that with the change in insurance carriers from First Flight Insurance Group to O2 Sports Insurance that notices for renewals are no longer being sent by First Flight. If you would like to take advantage of usua’s 3rd Party Liability Insurance Policy, you will need to contact O2 Sports Insurance to begin being insured through them. Our representative there is Kandace Kalin. You can reach her toll-free at 1-855-351-0202 or email her at kk@o2sportsinsurance.com. To be eligible for the insurance program, the aircraft owner must be a current usua member and the aircraft must either be N-numbered or (if an ultralight) have a usua registration number. You can download the registration application at www.usua.org/PDF/VehicleApplication2016.pdf. In addition, each aircraft operator needs to be a current usua member and be able to show that he/she can competently fly the aircraft. The insurance program covers ultralights and most light sport aircraft (slsa, Experimental Light Sport and Experimental Amateur Built). Categories include airplanes, seaplanes, powered parachutes, weight shift control trikes, ultralights, and powered paragliders. Learn more about the usua at usua.org. Is Your Insurance Current?
www.PSFmagazine.com | November-December 2019 | 11 10 | November-December 2019 | Powered Sport Flying Light Sport Aircraft One-Five-Oh! — Newest Special Light Sport Aircraft: InnovAviation’s FX1, SLSA #150 If you are an ultralight enthusiast (as I certainly am!), then you are probably celebrating with me as FX1 joins the Special lsa fleet —which it does as Number 150 on our popular slsa List. Here’s a secret: the slsa List is one of the most-visited features on ByDanJohnson.com. Those who frequent that page know they can find all the Special lsa that have been accepted by faa with links to the manufacturer, their importer if appropriate, contact info and all our content about any of the long list of aircraft. You can find it yourself at www.bydanjohnson.com/slsa-list/. We are at the 15-year anniversary since faa released the regulation for what is now known as Sport Pilot/Light Sport Aircraft; the rule came out in early September 2004. It was grandly previewed at Airventure Oshkosh that summer. The first approvals —Evektor‘s SportStar and Flight Design‘s CT2K—were granted in April of 2005 at the Sun ‘n Fun event. In those 15 years, the industry has risen to gain acceptance* for 150 new aircraft models from nearly 100 manufacturers. Aviation has seen nothing like this profusion of new aircraft in all its history. Thoroughly Modern Ultralight; Now a SLSA We knew the FX1 from its ancestral JetFox series culminating in the JetFox 97, well… in 1997. The older JetFox models were more clearly ultralights. These were European ultralights, which are somewhere between a Part 103 ultralight vehicle and the lsa of today. The design always caught my eye and I very much enjoyed flying the late ’90s model. However, I did not enjoy worming my way into the cockpit around tubing structure and throwing a leg over the stick. You needed to be something of a contortionist to enter and I did not do so very gracefully. Times change. Along came modern lsa in all manner of aircraft and along came carbon fiber, digital instrumentation, crashworthy designs, and modern engines like Rotax’s 912iS. Longtime JetFox/FX1 designer Alfredo di Cesare made incremental changes to the JetFox series but he stayed aware of the changing design of light aircraft and moved forward with an entirely fresh creation. Virtually every part of InnovAviation‘s FX1 is new compared to JetFox 97. What FX1 retains is a similar shape and configuration. If that shape looks familiar to you, it should. In the JetFox 97 days, the Italian aircraft significantly resembled the Flightstar series, which had evolved from designs by prolific Swiss designer Hans Gygax. FX1, the SLSA Alfredo and his team took the advice of Videoman Dave and me to take FX1 to Mt. Vernon, Illinois after Oshkosh. We assured him he and his airplane would be taken care of in the professional and enthusiastic manner of airport manager Chris Collins. Chris created the Midwest lsa Expo, an event entering its second decade. We tell all aircraft producers they should go, as this event is the No. 1 place for Dave and I to do Video Pilot Reports. These video productions are too demanding and time consuming to attempt at events like Sun ‘n Fun or Oshkosh but, thanks to Chris, we can do whatever it takes to make our popular vprs at his airport. You should attend some day. It’s laid back but that means you can get all the time you want with the aircraft representative. So back to our story, Alfredo and Team InnovAviation did much more than bring their airplane. Read what Chris had to report… “The InnovAviation FX1 made its inaugural flight in the United States at Mt. Vernon Outland Airport! “The long path to the air started with the aircraft on static display at Airventure Oshkosh last week, a late-night arrival at kmvn on Monday, nearly 40 straight hours of assembly and testing, and the inspection and sign off by the Federal Aviation Administration on August 1st.” “At the controls were southern California-based reps for the aircraft, Pete Schutte and Deon Lombard.” “The aircraft and assembly team hails from Corropoli, Italy. It was great hosting Alfredo, Umberto, and Paolo over the last three days. Thank you Deon and Pete for allowing kmvn this honor.” Lots of people get this wrong. We’ve been conditioned by many years of FAA“certifying” airplanes, like Cessna, Cirrus, Piper and so forth. However, Special LSA are not “certified.”They are “accepted” by FAA after proving in very detailed form that the design meets ASTM standards and the company uses standard “best practices” in the manufacture of the aircraft.

www.PSFmagazine.com | November-December 2019 | 13 12 | November-December 2019 | Powered Sport Flying Pilot Report on the CTSS from the Midwest LSA Expo On Day One (of the 2nd decade) of the Midwest lsa Expo, Videoman Dave and I did our Video Pilot Report routine on three Light Sport Aircraft: Flight Design‘s CT SuperSport, Sportair usa‘s Shock Ultra, and Texas Aircraft’s Colt. All three are quite different, and each was delightful in its own way. Doing three of these vprs took the entire day …and that’s before the big job of editing begins. CT SuperSport If SuperSport looks familiar to you, it should. It’s based on the ctsw but joins several elements of the newer ctls. In Europe, Flight Design has continued to deliver a lighter model from the CT series to conform to the microlight or European ultralight parameters. SuperSport is something fresh as it takes a ctsw fuselage and grafts on the ctls wing; adapts construction from the ctls gear while still doing it with a single piece, like ctsw; employs tail structure from the newer model; and drafts the Rotax 912iS fuel-injected engine. Even that list doesn’t cover all the upgrades. Flight Design describes CT SuperSport as, “the new high performance version of the Flight Design CT, one of the most popular and innovative light aircraft in the world. The Super comes equipped with a single 10-inch Dynon D1000 efis/mfd with Synthetic Vision, Dynon comm and transponder, ads-B Out, and ballistic parachute system.” CT SuperSport can be delivered with a 710 pound empty weight that puts it well below many Light Sport Aircraft and more than 100 pounds lighter than the longer ctls. “This weight reduction was accomplished by using simplified avionics and equipment plus some lighter parts from the European version of the CT,” said Flight Design. CT SuperSport has the same spacious and wide interior of the CT series but it returns to the ‘mushroom’ instrument panel that does not extend all the way to the cockpit exterior. Seeming to rise out of the floor, you know, like a mushroom, the panel produces a feeling of much greater visibility, especially forward. Re-entering the ctsw cabin reminded me of the helicopter-like vision afforded by the cockpit design. This came Light Sport Aircraft Support Our Advertisers in handy while I flew with the father and son team named Tom Gutmann… both of them. One is “Senior” and one is “Junior,” though if you’ve met them you know “ junior” is quite a misnomer. Both fellows are big, strapping Americans. Yet Tom Jr. and I fit in CT SuperSport with several inches between us and without pushing up against the door to make that claim. CT SuperSport is some 13 inches shorter than ctls, Tom Jr. noted, and it does not have the hat rack or aft cabin windows of ctls. CT SuperSport also uses an electric trim for pitch only while ctls has pitch, aileron, and rudder trim by wheels. The new, lighter CT model is what I’d agree to call a performance model. It runs close to the top end of the permitted speed range, can fly around 1,000 statute miles, climbs 1,000 feet per minute, yet sips fuel at rates of four gallons per hour, even less if you retard the throttle slightly. It is a lively-handling aircraft that still exhibits mild stall characteristics, proven by our performing a full regimen of approach and departure stalls plus accelerated stalls in each direction. Base price of CT SuperSport is: $135,000, some $40,000 less than the flagship ctls. “Options include night flight equipment and autopilot with Level button,” said Flight Design. Father and son Gutmanns run Airtime Aviation —with the wonderfully short “FlyCT.com” web address. Airtime is perhaps the largest non-manufacturer seller of aircraft in light aviation worldwide. Their enterprise has delivered more aircraft than many manufacturers have ever made (greater than 200) yet they remain loyal to — and highly knowledgeable about —Flight Design aircraft. They’ve been active since the beginning of Light Sport Aircraft.•
www.PSFmagazine.com | November-December 2019 | 15 14 | November-December 2019 | Powered Sport Flying Innovations 2019 Innovation Showcase at AirVenture 2019 Look closely at the power plant shown above. What is your guess: Electric motor? Rotary engine as in Wankel? Turbine? Two-stroke hybrid? If you selected any of the above, you would be wrong on all counts. The answer is a 12-cylinder 4-stroker and in this example, turning counter-rotating props. More information on this later. This year I prowled the AirVenture grounds searching out new things in aviation suitable to us little guys, or for what might be coming down the ‘runway’ for the big guys that could trickle down to us. Most of my attention was directed to the Innovation Showcase located near the nasa tent and the eaa Blue Barn. Innovation Showcase was initiated in 2015 as a venue providing opportunities for innovators wishing to display their ideas, prototypes, and actual working demonstrators without having to incur the usual vendor fees. eaa does not endorse any of these displayed aircraft, they are only providing entrepreneurs an opportunity for exposure. From an application list of over 150 innovators, about two dozen companies having real market potential to impact general and recreational aviation were selected. This year, TransportUP was the sponsor, starting the week with a reservation-only breakfast followed by a Power Point describing the future of what now is called Urban Air Mobility. by Paul D. Fiebich UAM’s goal is to invest and manufacture short-haul air taxis and personal commuter aircraft. Understandably, while exploring this goal, many known (and likely many unknown) related issues need to be addressed. You will be hearing more about uam in many upcoming aviation magazines. uams and Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be to the 2020’s what plastics was to the movie “The Graduate.” Now, back to the lead photo and opening question. What you see is called a four-stroke Radial Exponential Engine. It can be made with one or two 6-cylinder air or watercooled banks of pistons. Each bank produces 60hp; the 1-1/2” diameter pistons have dual ignition and two (yes two) power strokes per revolution while each bank drives one of the contra-rotating propellers. The engine can run on either bank alone; essentially, this is similar to having a twin-engine airplane. It’s promoted as being Fail-Safe. Although the stated applications are for private aircraft, cars, motorcycles, stationary power generators, etc., can you imagine how it could affect the lsa and Ultralight market? Let’s keep our eye on this technology! Contact Frank Ardezzone at www.exponentialengine.com for more information. I often refer to flying my experimental AirBike as it being a “motorcycle in the sky.” Well, Assen Aeronautics has an experimental Vertical Take Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft that is actually ridden like a motorcycle. Its lift comes from three ducted fans powered by a unique hybrid gas engine/electric generator combination that fits under the seat. This has to be the ultimate example of motorcycle riding in three-dimensional space. Named the H1 Explorer, it fits within the Ultralight category and can fly for 20 minutes on its 57 kW electric motors/batteries. Recharging time is 40 minutes. Predicted flight time using the twin two-stroke gasoline engines alone is 55 minutes. Check out their website at assen.aero. The full-size example on display at AirVenture 2019 has been flown using an R/C controller. Six sequentially firing pistons produce two power strokes per rotation in this Exponential Engine designed by Frank Ardezzone. See what it looks like on the opposing page.

Innovations 2019 Another company, Electric Jet Aircraft, calls their eVTOL the Verticycle. This Ultralight uses four ducted fans, each powered by a 25 kWmotor providing 784 pounds of thrust. The pilot sits in a type of reclining chair framework while using a manual controller to maneuver the aircraft and change altitude. The Verticycle can carry a 200 pound pilot at speeds in excess of 35 mph for 30 minutes. The company is also working on various models of platform-type eVTOLs. The Verticycle is a proof-of-concept machine intended as a stepping-stone for advanced multi-passenger personal short range UAMs. More information is available at electricjetaircraft.com. Founder Pete Bitar is shown in the photos. Below is Assen's H1 Explorer, their example of motorcycling in 3-D space. To the right is the Assen hybrid engine combining four 2-stroke engines and an electrical generator. Electric Jet's Verticycle looks odd but then so did the Wright Flyer. Support Our Advertisers
www.PSFmagazine.com | November-December 2019 | 19 18 | November-December 2019 | Powered Sport Flying Opener’s Blackfly was on display again this year. Its Part 103 epoxy-impregnated Carbon Fiber structure is powered by eight tractor-mounted propellers driven by individual electric motors and their custom controllers. The motors are mounted on the leading edges of the tandem fixed wings, and their angle of attack is variable with motor speed via an R/C controller stick. The current model is designed to carry one 250 pound pilot at speeds up to 62 mph for up to 20 minutes. My grandchildren, Olivia (age 11) and Brenin (age 13) had an experience in the Blackfly simulator. Their reactions were that it was “ fun, it went the way you pointed the stick, and the simulator seat moved the same way the plane did giving a real feeling of flying.” They said the flying learning curve is “ immediate, any kid could fly it.” I believe that to be a good endorsement. For more information, go to this link: opener.aero. Another version of this tandem-wing-style multi-motortype aircraft was on display this year. The Airbus version called Vahana is a research platform that has flown in excess of 100 mph, has 38 kWh batteries, with eight 45 kWmotors attached to the leading edges of the tilting wings. It carries one person and is self-piloted. Find more information at this link: evtol.news/aircraft/a3-by-airbus/. We all understand the wing warping process the Wright Brothers used to control banking with their 1903 Wright Flyer. Did we ever think it would become a “new” way to control light aircraft? This is an example of how an old method can be revived because of structural technology. Explore Flight explains “Modular units made of fiber composite materials, are arranged in lattice-based pattern that can Above: Opener's Blackfly continues to be a successful eVTOL. Left: Brenin stated that flying the Opener sim "was fun and it went where the stick was pointed." Right:Olivia enjoyed flying the Opener sim (although she crashed) and said "any kid could do it." Airbus' Vahana prototype has flown. flex and adapt.” The displayed wing was operated (warped) using an R/C controller and servos. Another personal air vehicle is the Zeva Zero (Zero-emissions electric vertical aircraft) designed exclusively to compete in the Boeing GoFly competition. It is a personal point-to-point electric powered vertical takeoff aircraft having a wing-body propelled by eight podmounted motors. The pilot flies the craft in a prone position similar to the way the Wrights did. It is predicted to have a 50 mile range at speeds up to 160 mph. More information is available at zevaaero.com. A different approach to stol is taken by David Ullman, Emeritus Professor at Oregon State University, and Ideal Estol llc. That approach being: work with the wing’s coefficient of lift for stol rather than attempting vertical takeoff. He trades vtol power consumption in favor of significantly reduced conventional take off distance and landing rollout. To do this he incorporates numerous ducted electric fans at the wing’s leading edges to blow “speeding air” over the wing. This converts horizontal propeller propulsion to lift. Explore Flight's composite modular units arranged in a lattice-based pattern permit the wing to flex Designed to compete in the Boeing GoFly competition, the Zeva Zero's pilot lies prone similar to that of Wilber and Orville's pilot position.
www.PSFmagazine.com | November-December 2019 | 21 20 | November-December 2019 | Powered Sport Flying Innovations 2019 The faster the air over the wing travels, the greater the lift coefficient, independent of air speed. This is called Distributive Electric Propulsion. He is concerned with the speed of the air rather than the airspeed of forward motion. Although not a new concept, it is worth considering now in view of the technological advancements in electric motors and batteries. The applications range from ultralights to uam vehicles and ultimately GA and commercial aircraft. The videos, demonstration model, and charts at his booth were impressive. For more information contact David at ullman@davidullman.com. Perhaps some R/C modelers will attempt to duplicate David’s efforts with their electric aircraft. Not all the innovations dealt with hardware. EFX Applied Technology has a patented software system developed to produce a safety warning system called Interactive Personal Alert Systems (ipas) for personnel working around operating aircraft. The system uses daylight-readable laser images projected on surfaces to visually warn workers of pending danger. The images change in intensity, display frequency, and imagery as one encroaches further into the danger source. Initially applied to aircraft operations, it could be applied to anything where the potential for personal injury is possible: manufacturing machinery, carnival rides, school busses, aircraft carriers, helicopters, train stations, etc. The booth’s display was definitely interactive. A slowly spinning propeller simulated an aircraft propeller; a danger area was projected on the ground defining the danger zone. As one moved closer to and then into the danger zone, the imagery changed, thus warning the intruder of impending injury or death. More information on this system is available at efxappliedtech.com. A pilot safety feature was presented by Feel Flight Grip, which changes the ‘seat of the pants’ flying to the grip of the hand. Realizing sense of touch signals reach our brain faster than visual or auditory signals, Feel Flight Grip incorporates aircraft attitudes into the aircraft’s hand grip or to the yoke. The attitudes are Slip Indicator (left and right), Stall Warning, Best Angle of Climb, and Best Rate of Climb. The aircraft’s attitude signals are transmitted to the flight grip, then to the pilot’s hand via projecting buttons that vibrate. Testing has shown the learning curve needed to respond to these stimuli is almost natural and intuitive. Pilots who have trained using the Feel Flight Grip are receptive to installing the system on their planes. Flight schools find this system improves the rate at which students learn to recognize aircraft attitude and then quickly adjust to control the aircraft. Transition from a training environment back to the original system is quick and is stated to actually improve that pilot’s control inputs using the aircraft’s original system. We all want to be better pilots; this system is already in production and is definitely doing that. For more information contact feelflight.com. AirVenture 2019 opened my eyes to innovations that in previous years I gave only superficial attention to. I spent hours in the innovation booths this year speaking with the vendors, gathering information, and being awed by progress that only years earlier was merely in the concept stage. These and other innovations addressed a wide range of applications: some will have immediate impact on the little guys; others apply to the larger GA aircraft. Understandably, even with those that are beyond our aircraft, there will be a trickle-down effect that we will eventually see. Innovations covered in this article reflect only a few of those on display; I strongly encourage you to go visit each link provided, where you will find more photos and informative text. Next time you attend AirVenture, plan to spend considerable time in Gateway Park where the Innovation Showcase is located. It will be time well spent; your own innovative mind will go into high gear.
