Principskitse af E-Fan-X. En gasturbine i fuselagen driver en elmotor ophængt i en motornacelle under vingen.
Rolls Royce og Airbus lancerede E-Fan-X projektet for 3 år siden.
Meningen var at ombygge et BAE 146-jetfly med et gasturbine-elektrohybridsystem på 2 MW for sikre sig erfaringer med en mere energieffektiv luftfart.
Så sent som i februar 2020 skrev Airbus entusiastisk om projektets store fremskridt på deres hjemmeside, men nu er projektet pludseligt dødt. Airbus oplyser kryptisk, at ”man vil fortsætte med CO2-reducerende udviklingsprojekter, men E-Fan-X-projektet ikke passer ind i virksomhedens strategi”.
Det er svært at tolke det som andet end Corona-krisen nu initierer et benhårdt fokus på classic core busines og ikke fremtidige visioner. Trist.
Når en europæisk kunde køber en Jonker JS1, så lander containeren fra sydafrikanske Potchefstroom først hos tyske M&D Flugzeugbau, som ser til, at kvalitet, sikkerhed og ikke mindst dokumentation er på plads. Portræt af Jonkers' "European Connection".

Vindkraftværk, kulfiber-indsatser til ambulanceflyvninger, marine-propeller, elektriske helikoptere und so weiter. Åh, ja. DG producerer også svævefly i høj kvalitet. Portræt af en fabrikant med en overraskende diversitet og tumultarisk historik.
