The Spark’s fuselage is a hand layup performed by the most skilled employees in the factory. No question, weight is the critical issue in an electric plane, and we have made sure that tightest QC-targets must be met to satisfy us. Besides the extreme weight savings, there is an aerodynamical key issue to be dealt with: The air intakes. On a turbine jet these are mainly defined by size. On an EDF they’re not only defined by size, but also by the shape and quality of the intake lip. A rounded leading edge is extremely important to create a smooth airflow, even though this is a lot of work to manufacture. Mould inlays create this lip while the fuselage is laminated and dedicated precision assembly work is required to glue and blend the inner ductings in. All this is done for you, smoothened and then painted to perfection, so that even the very last Watt can be converted into thrust. |
