XAEROS Retrofiting

Fitting and retrofitting of Aircraft

The XAEROS hybrid drive is not only designed for the simple equipping of new aircraft, but was designed from the ground up for the conversion of existing aircraft types and aircraft. All drive components are an integral part of the XAEROS hybrid drive.

The first step in converting an aircraft is to dismantle the entire technology in front of the firewall. In the second step, the XAEROS engine is attached with the appropriate engine mount to the intended attachment points on the fuselage and the 4 connections are made.

Connections between XAEROS and aircraft are to be established:

1. Throttle

To do this, the existing throttle cable must be connected to the multiple encoder of the XAEROS Hybrid, which is prepared for this. The position of the encoder is flexible. In new aircraft there is also the option of electrically transmitting the throttle position.

2. Fuel line

The two piston engines of the XAEROS Hybrid can be supplied with fuel together. However, there is also the option of supplying the two motor units with separate lines. For example, one V2 engine could be powered from the left wing tank and the second V2 engine from the right wing tank.

3. Power supply to aircraft

The XAEROS Hybrid provides two independent circuits for powering the aircraft.

4. Cockpit heating and ventilation

The XAEROS Hybrid supplies the cockpit with ventilation and heating via a 75mm/3" hose connection. The temperature of the cockpit is controlled via the Engine Monitoring System EMS, which also records the cockpit temperature. Cockpit air conditioning is also available as an option.

Complete conversion kits

For the conversion of aircraft, the delivery of complete conversion kits is planned, which includes the XAEROS hybrid drive, the appropriate hood and, if necessary, the appropriate propeller.

Supplemental Type Certificates (STS) are issued for the most common aircraft types, with which certified aircraft types can be converted and operated. With the conversion kit and the STC, every certified aircraft operator should be able to carry out the conversion in a very reasonable amount of time.
