Nope. An open parachute can very suddenly decelerate a 175 lb skydiver from 120 mph to 10 mph in 1 second at 6 G of force! That is definitely sudden but you will survive. It's not the sudden deceleration that specifically kills you it's the force of impact.

[@mungusaurus]

Peter, what equivalent HP is that motor putting out and what kind of endurance are you getting with your battery setup. I'm trying to set up an observer platform for shark spotting/ beach patrol on Cape Cod during the summer months (no I'm not kidding). A 2 stroke is too noisy and I have been looking into electric. We need 6-8 hours a day of coverage, obviously with multiple batteries, just looking at feasibility right now. Any info you want/ can share would be a great help.

The endurance on something like this is likely to be measured in minutes, not hours.

[@MrWaalkman]

@@mcbure1 Close enough, I get 14.66. For 6-8 hours of flying time (continuous) it would require a battery of about 100 Kilowatt-hours. Tesla makes one, it weighs 625 kilos...

[@MrWaalkman]

@@mcbure1 If you go by the official measurement, it's about 746 watts for 1 hp. I'm not going to quibble over 4 watts, so I just use 750 watts per hp. As for needing a 100 kWh battery, 100 / 11 = 9 hours of flight. Since the weight of the battery alone is going to take him well beyond the legal weight limit for a ultralight airplane, he will need one hour of reserve "fuel" (and I think that this rule applies to ultralights as well). Since his upper requirement was for 8 hours of flight time, he would have to plan on an extra hour of flight time. So, a 100 kWh battery it is. Normally you would need to factor in the internal (battery) and external (motor and power cable) losses, but Peter has done that for us by reading off what his power meter said that the motor was consuming. Does this mean that it consumes a continuous 11 Kw? I dunno... But it's as good of a starting point as any I guess. :)
