Texas Aircraft and OXIS Energy to Build Electric Colt
Key Takeaways:
- Texas Aircraft Manufacturing and OXIS Energy are jointly developing the eColt, an all-electric aircraft based on Texas Aircraft's Colt S-LSA.
- The eColt will utilize OXIS Energy's lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery technology, offering enhanced safety and being 40 percent lighter than current Li-Ion technology.
- The project aims for an initial flight time exceeding two hours and a range of approximately 200 nm, addressing the demand for ecologically-friendly flight training and regional transportation.
- Key components for the eColt, including the airframe, power systems, and Li-S battery cells, will be manufactured at various facilities in Brazil.
