Hi All,
Missed me? I've really missed you guys. I came across this article on Siemen's new electric motor. An incredible power to weight ration that is more than twice an improvement over existing technology.
http://www.gizmag.com/siemens-world-rec ... 3-90082809
Note the article's reference to Diamond Aircraft's DA36 E Star 2 motor glider using an older technology Siemen's motor with 60 kW output.
This one has 348 HP (260 kW)!!!
Consider the possibilities!!! Very cool news indeed.
Happy flying,
Paul

Re: Incredible Siemens Electric Motor - 5kW/kg power
Welcome back Paul! And thanks for this information. Indeed spectacular.
The painful question of course is: where does all this electric power come from... it would need at least 120 Kg of Li-Ion batteries to feed it for 5 minutes... aargh...
