The MS-1e, where ecological meets economical
The MS-1e
What is the MS-1e?
The MySkyEco MS-1e is an all-electric single engine flight training and recreational aircraft. Combining the latest battery technology with proven electric motors and power distribution units.
Battery Technology
The MS-1e has been designed to be powered by 24 batteries supplied by our partner Electric Power Systems. The batteries will take the place of the fuel tank and the engine in the cowling and the wing rib spacing has been designed to fit the motors in between each rib comfortably. The battery pack will give pilots a 90+ minute flight envelope.
MS-1e vs MS-1L
With a FADEC engine control in the MS-1L giving it a single power level design, the MS-1e will have that same single power level. All internal instrumentation will be identical save for the engine instruments. The power output of the gas vs electric engines will be matched so there is no performance difference in any part of the flight envelope. This means that any pilot can get out of the MS-1L and immediately pilot the MS-1e with no additional training. The same goes for going from MS-1e to MS-1L.
Based on our flight tested MS-1L airframe, the MS-1e is being developed as a more Ecological and Economical alternative to currently available flight training aircraft. MySkyEco is partnering with the most progressive technology leaders in the aerospace community to create an aircraft that will have a potential 90+ minute fully electric endurance. Using a DC fast charging system our charge time will be under 30 min and allow for efficient flight school scheduling.
FAQs
How do electric aircraft work?
Electric aircraft are powered by electric motors, which convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. Electric aircraft store energy in onboard batteries and the electrical energy from the batteries is distributed throughout the aircraft's electrical system. This supplies power to various components, including the motors, avionics, and other electrical systems. A single lever control manages the speed and power output of the electric motors which control enables pilots to adjust thrust levels as needed during different phases of flight, similar to a single power level piston aircraft. After flight, the aircraft's batteries need to be recharged and this is done by connecting the aircraft to a charging station or power source on the ground. The charging process replenishes the energy storage for the next flight. The time to charge is dependent on the amount of energy remaining on the batteries, outside temperature, the battery temperature, and other elements.
What are the advantages of electric aircraft?
There are many advantages to Electric aircraft including but not limited to:
Environmental Sustainability
Reduced Noise
Lower Operational Costs
Enhanced safety
What are the limitations of electric aircraft?
The greatest limiting factor in electric aircraft currently is range. Although the MySky MS-1e electric aircraft will have the same flight performance envelop as it’s sister ship, the gas powered MS-1L, it will not have the same range. As battery technology continues to improve however, we expect to see that gap to continue to narrow.
Are electric aircraft safe?
All model in the MySky Eco range of aircraft undergo a rigorous testing and certification processes to ensure that the highest safety standards are exceeded. Battery systems are secured against thermal runaway and overcharge through EP Systems patented battery connections. We design all systems in our aircraft with redundancy and systems monitoring in mind. All safety starts with training, and we look to help write the book on the safest ways to not only fly electric but care for and ground handle electric aircraft safely.
What is the future outlook for the electric MySky Eco aircraft?
The future outlook for the MS-1e is promising, driven by growing battery capacity and the need for advanced modern training fleets. The electric aircraft market expansion is inevitable, thanks to advancing technology and the rising demand for sustainable transportation. As more training fleets transition to electric operation, cost efficiency will improve significantly. Additionally, the infrastructure development by MySky Eco will enhance the versatility and support for the electrification of aviation, further electrifying the growth and adoption of electric aircraft.
