Flight characteristics<\/h3>

Antares\u00ae airplanes achieve the highest rankings and are designed for intuitive flying with stable and good-natured flying characteristics. The extreme maneuverability, enormous range and climbing capabilities as well as the relief of the pilot through complexity-reducing systems and digital integration ensure that every flight remains a pleasure even after many hours. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Electric drive<\/h3>

Our battery-powered propulsion system is the soul of Antares\u00ae electric aircraft. The engine, propeller, drive control and convenient single lever operation for extension\/retraction and engine power setting are unique. No other electric platform can look back on so many flying hours. The drive system is designed for maximum efficiency, easily recognizable by the slow-turning 2-meter ( 6.6 ft ) propeller. The electric motor performs vibration-free, quietly and powerfully at any altitude. It can be retracted without pre-cooling immediately after use. The electric motor of the Antares brings a power of 42kW\/57HP and thus achieves a climb rate of 4 m\/s ( 790 ft\/min ). During powered flight, the motor bay doors close hydraulically. The Antares\u00ae drive electronics and software are on a par with the world's best electric cars. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Battery system & charger<\/h3>

The Antares\u00ae.RED.3 battery system is the powerhouse of the Antares\u00ae. It supplies the aircraft with energy to achieve a climb altitude including self-launch of 5,600 meters ( 18370 ft ) and a range of up to 380 km ( 205 nm ) in the L version. The batteries are closely monitored. They are located in a fire-resistant and pressure-dissipating universal compartment within the wing structure. They are easily accessible for specialist personnel and can be (dis)assembled in a short time - but at the same time are kept at an optimum temperature and function reliably in all flight phases. In addition, the universal compartments can also accommodate future generations of batteries. The Antares.RED.3 charger is permanently installed in the aircraft. This means that the Antares\u00ae batteries can be supplied with power directly from all standard mains sockets without any extras, for example during soaring safaris.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Aerodynamics<\/h3>

The ideal aerodynamic basic design of the Antares\u00ae and many detail optimizations on the fuselage and wings appeal to pilots with high expectations.

One of our most important goals was to achieve perfect control harmony and response continuity. One of the many highlights of our development work is the implementation of new approaches, such as the hydraulically operated motor bay doors, which keep the fuselage completely closed while the electric motor is extended. The motor can be retracted without any pre cooling immediately after use.

State-of-the-art composite materials together with the latest in research and development knowledge deliver very high aspect ratios and low minimum wing loading. In addition, the electronically controlled water ballast system enables a wide range of wing loadings to adapt the aircraft to many weather situations. Our special materials and manufacturing processes at our Zweibr\u00fccken plant make it possible to practically implement the optimum wing. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Independence<\/h3>

On the ground, an Antares\u00ae operates as an unrestricted aircraft: capable of self-launching, with the help of the powerful and resilient electric motor and, thanks to the steerable tail wheel and wingtip wheels, it can taxi CO2-free and quietly to the point of take-off and lift off after a short take-off run. Every Antares\u00ae aircraft is also equipped with a combination tow- and winch-hook as standard.\n\nAntares\u00ae aircraft take off and land effortlessly on grass and asphalt. The large and hydraulically retractable 5-inch main landing gear with its powerful Beringer disk brake ensures comfort and safety even on difficult terrain. \n\nLike all modern sailplanes, an Antares\u00ae can be loaded and transported in a trailer. Our aircraft can be assembled and disassembled by one person in just a few steps and in less than 10 minutes - the one-man rigging aid, which was specially developed for this purpose and which has proven itself many times over, is included in the scope of delivery. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Comfort & ergonomics<\/h3>

Good ergonomics result in performance advantages: On long flights, the scientifically optimized use of space in the Antares cockpit consistently prevents premature fatigue and loss of concentration. Incidentally, all pilots between 1.54 m ( 5\u2032 ) and 1.94 m ( 6\u2032 4\u2033 ) tall can comfortably be seated in our aircraft. The extra comfortable seating position offers excellent resting surfaces and comfort adjustments. \n\nNaturally, all controls are located where they are expected and within easy ergonomic reach. Aerodynamically optimal, low-noise ventilation brings the direct feel of air movement around the aircraft to the pilot inside and quickly provides clear visibility through the canopy. The particularly low-cut hood offers unrivaled visibility. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
