Title: Electric FAI speed model pass the 300 Km/h barrier
Post by: Peter Germann on September 21, 2020, 09:22:15 AM
At the e-speed F2G nationals from September 19th 2020 two swiss flyers passed 300 Km/h (182 mph). For detail go to: www.fesselflug.ch

Given the harsh limitations on 2.5 cc piston engines and the complete lack of limits on electric motors it is not surprising that the unlimited motors beat the limited engines.

Thanks Peter!

Do you know what folks are using in the power train?  Timers, ESCs, motors, batteries?

Nope Tim ,
I am pretty sure Peter Germann SUI will know all the facts , he is S.H. Forum member....--- PM , maybe he jumps in.

Thank you Peter.  The RPM is interesting -- I'm reminded of talking with a coworker at a previous job, who worked for a firm that made super-high-performance (for the day) brushless motors.  It turns out that -- in 1985, at least -- the limit to how fast you could spin a brushless motor was the strength of the rotating assembly.  At some point, the motor would throw magnets and seize up (these were inrunners) or otherwise suffer from mechanical failure due to centrifugal effects.

Makes you wonder how dangerous it would be if the outer casing exploded.

I always try to stand away from the plane of the propeller, even with boring old stunt planes.  Because something flying off is vanishingly unlikely, but getting your face speared by a prop blade would really, really hurt.

As powerplant engineer involved in turbine engine development I am always cautious about being in the plane of rotation of anything that has any kind of rotational speed. It doesn't take but once being around one that lets go. The amount of energy contained in a rotating body can be tremendous.

But ya gotta admit the intrigue of running that motor at 48k is big....

Forget your face - that would be the least of your worries. A prop blade, of any material, hitting anything human between knee & the top of the head would likely drop you stone dead - in one side and out the other! Wire cages around speed circles may stop a whole plane but I think i'd like to be behind 1/4" polycarbonate at least when shrapnel is coming my way!
