TECHNOLOGY

 

Challenger SC is a new technology level for aerospace, incorporating a graphene airframe and skin, not carbon fiber or fiberglass. This means the aircraft itself, before adding hardware, propulsion, gear etc is only a fraction of the weight compared to carbon fiber composite construction.

Additionally, CVD based graphene is superconducting material, with well over 10X the current throughput vs copper, which then creates a super conducting magnetic field, providing well over 400% increased shaft horsepower being delivered to the Graphene EDF blades, which can cycle through 30,000 rpm, at less energy input vs if they were copper based brushless motors.

And since the EDF unit is multi staged for extremely high thrust output, each stage operates independently from the other which allows for maximum efficiently of the airflow.

The VTOL nozzles for this propulsion system can rotate to 95° providing a 1.5 to 1 thrust ratio at maximum passenger and fuel capacity. Additionally, the inboard nozzles can rotate laterally 15°, but the outboard nozzles can rotate up to 90° rapidly (under 1 second) to provide a very superior control authority for both slow speed and hover flight.

 

  • This results in maximum stability in turbulent and urban conditions, and above 30kt gust stability.


PERFORMANCE

Challenger SC,

  • Can take off and land conventionally

  • STOL (short take off and landing)

  • And VTOL (vertical take off and landing)

    Additional aspect of these performance aspects, because it has a very high vertical thrust capacity, it can operate in higher altitude conditions.

Challenger SC can cruise comfortably at 250kts below the 10,000FT FAA speed limit, but above 10,000FT regulation, can accelerate through 400kts true airspeed and provide jet type velocities for cruise up to 20,000ft.

The aircraft can operate from urban air mobility through regional point to point flight, and is not limited by any developed infrastructure restrictions, including the aircraft can operate in hostile environments safely..

 

  • The cabin for Challenger SC is very comfortable, with dimensions to comfortable seat an adult male up to 6' 6" and 300 LBS.


SAFETY


Safety aspects for crash survivability include a Ballistic Recovery System (BRS), 5G crush resistance, and the seats incorporate a scissor suspension system which in case of a hard landing or failure, will provide enormous shock absorption for the passengers.

Since the aircraft is BRS equipped, if this were to occur, the scissor suspension within the seats, ensures all passengers would incur no injuries and walk away.

An additional major safety feature, if one of the propulsion systems fail, the other unit within it's nacelle will take up the entire load of the it's pair, and the aircraft can still land safety in vtol mode if it is a light load or land conventionally at any airport in both STOL and conventional mode.

FLIGHT DYNAMICS


The wings for Challenger SC, are not canards, they are load sharing wings, which the center of gravity for the aircraft is just forward the rear wing. which the airfoil used for this aircraft is a very high lift capacity which ensures that besides it is able to fly at a high velocity, that maximum lift capacity is achieved for a higher altitude cruise.

This aircraft can take off from a parking lot or vertiport in New York City and Land in a parking lot or vertiport in Chicago.


Since this aircraft is highly configurable, it can also be utilized as a medical transport, utility/cargo, and other related usages.
