All four will be used on take-off and climb, while the front propellers will fold back in the cruise – adding 10% in efficiency compared to conventional designs, says Pyka.

AEROSPACE Electric commuter unveiled US start-up Pyka, previously known for an electric agricultural UAV, has unveiled a new nine- seat electric aircraft for regional travel that it intends to fly next year. The P3 uses electric motors and four propellers, two of which fold backwards in flight to leave the rear pusher propellers for the cruise. The P3’s range is 200nm with a cruise speed of 155kt.

  • De Havilland Tiger Moth 47” Wing Span Plan
    de Havilland Tiger Moth 47” Wing Span Plan The de Havilland DH 82 Tiger Moth is a 1930s biplane designed by Geoffrey de Havilland and was operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF) and others as a primary trainer. The Tiger Moth remained in service with the RAF until replaced by the de Havilland Chipmunk in 1952, when many of the surplus aircraft entered civil operation. Many other nations used the Tiger Moth in both military and civil applications, and it remains in widespread use as a recreational aircraft in many countries. It is still occasionally used as a primary training aircraft, particularly for those pilots wanting to gain experience before moving on to other tailwheel aircraft, although most Tiger Moths have a skid. Many are now employed by various companies offering trial lesson experiences. Those in private hands generally fly far fewer hours and tend to be kept in concours condition. The de Havilland Moth club founded 1975 is now a highly organized owners' association offering technical support and focus for Moth enthusiasts. de Havilland Tiger Moth 47” Wing Span Plan de Havilland Tiger Moth 47” Wing Span Plan Design and development The Tiger Moth trainer prototype was derived from the DH 60 de Havilland Gipsy Moth in response to Air Ministry specification 13/31 for an ab-initio training aircraft. The main change to the DH Moth series was necessitated by a desire to improve access to the front cockpit since the training requirement specified that the front seat occupant had to be able to escape easily, especially when wearing a parachute.[2] Access to the front cockpit of the Moth predecessors was restricted by the proximity of the aircraft's fuel tank directly above the front cockpit and the rear cabane struts for the upper wing.
