V4 Electrox
The V4 Electrox, A civilian electric aircraft that revived and brought an almost bankrupt company to fame.
The V4 Electrox would not be possible without the electric systems developed by spefyjerbf
The development of the Electrox was, said by the chief engineer and designer: "completely and utterly insane, almost to the point of mental illness".
The project was plagued with design issues, One small imbalance of the weight would impact the entire aircraft, there were also some issues with the electric engine that brought delays in development.
The Electrox now has a cult following of fans, it's Large electric engine Pod made it easy to access the engine components, maybe a little too easy.... This feature was abused to an insane amount. Electric counterparts to Turbochargers were produced by individual companies and freelancers.
The Electrox was one of THE Civilian Race planes and one of the best starter racing electric planes.
Other than this specific niche however, only few people sought out the V4 Electrox, there were cheaper, more efficient or more aesthetically appealing aircraft.
More from me soon
