ANTe Geiger HPD20 go backwards reverse thrust Umkehrschub

[@andreschapero3615]

Please make more videos. Under Covid19 lockdown all I do is dream of a Geiger powered nanotrike. Andres from Santiago, Chile.

tolles feature! hab es schon mal live gesehen 2018 in greiling. sehr interssantes geräusch wenn das ul beim schnellen ausrollen auf reverse schaltet.

[@tomfrey1258]

Ja, es klingt ein bisschen wie eine Turboprop Maschine

[@mikedillonhaswings]

I haven't gotten off the ground in reverse either, lol.

[@tomfrey1258]

You could, just turn the glider around. I have flown backwards with a hangglider and also with a Parachute (BCRW Backwards Canopy Relative Work) :) Take off could be complicated...

[@migueldias1766]

What needs more power to fly, the hang gliding trike, or the Paramotor trike?

[@tomfrey1258]

The hanggliding trike is more efficient, but the paramotor trike is slower and therefore lower wind resistance, so I got also a reasonable flight time out of the paratrike.

@@tomfrey1258 Thanks becouse I'm thinking building a eletric aircraft, i have a system that make 17hp continuous power, and like 25hp peak power. What you think fly better? Hang gliding trike or Paramotor trike.

@@migueldias1766 Hanggliding Trike is better

[@migueldias1766]

@@tomfrey1258 ok but I heard that they need at least 25hp to fly good. I'm have 80kg so you think I can fly with my 20hp system?

[@tomfrey1258]

@@migueldias1766 if you use an efficient direct E Drive like Geiger the efficiency factor compared to a combustion engine should be 1.3 So your performance should be enough provided you use a good wing like Aeros Combat 12T

Que bello esbolar

Very handy

[@patrickmckowen2999]

Very cool. Industry 1st? Not sure how often it would be used. But like having a condom, better to have it and not need it, than to need it not have one 🤣 Cheers
