APUS Zero Emission GmbH’s Post

🎬𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀: 𝗔𝗻 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗣𝗨𝗦 𝗶-𝟮 🛫 After the roll-out and presentation of our first emission-free aircraft, the APUS i-2 (Mira), in September, a lot has happened. We’ve made great progress in shaping its future and are steadily moving toward the maiden flight. We’re excited to share an update and highlight 5 𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: 🔍 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗩𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁 (𝗚𝗩𝗧): Immediately after the roll-out, the GVT was conducted. The goal was to evaluate the aeroelastic behavior of our aircraft – a key step toward the first flight. 📄 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 & 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀: We’re continuously working to finalize the manufacturing documentation and complete smaller, outstanding tasks. The focus is on precise testing and documentation processes, which are essential. ⚙️ 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝘂𝗹𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀: Currently, the acceptance testing and commissioning of the propulsion system are running in parallel. It will still take some time until the entire propulsion system is fully operational, and we are making good progress. 🔥 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝘂𝗻𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁: As another important step toward safety and certification, our Team Lead of Software & Systems Engineering, Philipp Schildt, is currently conducting acceptance tests and preparing thermal runaway tests. ✈️ 𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗔 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Last week, our Co-Founders Robert Adam and Martin König, and our test pilot met with flight experts from EASA - European Union Aviation Safety Agency. Topics discussed included the first flight scenario, risks, mitigations, and the flight manual. More meetings will follow in the coming weeks to ensure the flight conditions – and ultimately the first flight approval – are secured. We remain full of energy and can’t wait to see our APUS i-2 revolutionize the skies and shape the future of aviation. With each milestone, we’re one step closer to making emission-free flight a reality. For us at APUS Zero Emission GmbH, this aircraft is a symbol of our commitment to a sustainable future, and we’re excited to keep you updated. #aviation #hydrogen #innovation
