The ALPHA Electro is a 34’ 5 ⁄’’ (10.5 m) wing-
span, two-seat T-tail high-wing motorplane
made almost entirely of composite materials.
It has a robust, tricycle undercarriage that in-
corporates brake-equipped wheels, a U-shaped
composite strut and a steerable nose wheel.
The ALPHA Electro features flaperons, meaning
that one movable surface on each wing acts
both as the flap and the aileron. Flaps offer 3
settings: retracted 0
o
, +15
o
and +25
o
.
Full dual main flight control levers make the
ALPHA Electro ideal for initial and advanced
flight training. All aileron, elevator and flap con-
trols are connected to the cabin controls using
self-fitting push-pull tubes. The rudder is con-
trolled via cables. The elevator trim is electric.
All aircraft are shipped with 4-point safety
belts attached to the fuselage at three mount-
ing points. The rudder pedals can be adjusted
before and also in-flight to suit your size and
needs.
The aircraft is equipped with two battery packs:
one is located aft of the cabin bulkhead and the
other is aft of the firewall. The battery system is
ventilated and thermally protected.
The electric motor is a 60 kW peak power unit
capable of energy recuperation during descent.
The windshield, doors and top window are
made of 2 mm anti-UV tinted Lexan, which was
specially developed not to shatter or split on
impact.
The main wheel brakes are hydraulically driven
drum type and activated via a cockpit hand-le-
ver. The hydraulic brake fluid used is DOT 4.
Cabin ventilation is achieved through special
vents fitted into the doors.
The propeller is a fixed pitch three-blade design.
The resettable electric circuit breakers enable
the pilot to test individual circuit items and
disconnect the batteries from the circuit if re-
quired.
Navigational (NAV) lights, anti collision (AC)
lights and a landing (LDG) light are installed.
The firewall is reinforced with heat and noise
insulation.
Basic instruments come installed with opera-
tional limits pre-designated.
A BPRS is present and located in aft fuselage.
