The Axe is the go-to training aircraft to deliver effective pilot training to facilitate the rising demand for E-VTOL aircraft pilots. With the aircrafts 2-seat side by side layout, the aircraft is perfectly suited for training new pilots. The cost of running electric aircraft is cheaper than piston or turbine aircraft. Electric motors have fewer moving parts, require less maintenance, and cheap(er) electricity means costs may fall by more than half of existing piston and turbine alternatives. The Permit to Fly regime offers more flexibility on costs and means that the Axe can be maintained and inspected, and have their Permits to Fly renewed annually, by the Light Aircraft Association. Flight training organisations are not tied into expensive service centres.

The aircraft is fitted with a removable battery module which enables you to continue flying, even when the main battery has run out. This enables you to have shorter charge times on your main battery pack and quicker turnaround times on the ground. If equipped with a hybrid generator, your training aircraft is capable of competing with existing piston training alternatives. Furthermore, with removable wings, the Axe can be transported on a trailer, giving flight training organisations ultimate flexibility on where they train students.

Multiple motors enable you to have redundancy in critical flight phases. If one motor fails – you can still fly safely. Compared to a single engine helicopter where there is only a single source of power, distributed propulsion is a proven safety feature. Furthermore, brushless electric motors compared to conventional piston or turbine engines have far fewer moving parts and critical components that can fail. Finally, with the Axe you can glide like a fixed wing in emergencies and have the back-up of a ballistic parachute.

The Axe features 8 brushless motors with 2 per wing end. The two motors are in a single housing and both power single shaft allowing for redundancy in the motor unit. The duplex motor will produce 70 KW peak power, 50kw continuous power with a max thurst available of around 700 kg (1,400 lbs).

Working with Rotron the Axe features an optional hybrid generator system to extend the range of the aircraft by charging the batteries as the aircraft flies. The Rotron rotary engine delivers an efficient and reliable solution. The hybrid unit will increase endurance by up to 2 hours, providing 50kw of continuous power with only a 55 kg all-up weight penalty.
