In addition to increasing the range, RX1E-A has another major improvement. The redesigned extended range sharp glider is equipped with integral parachute. Usually, in case of danger in the air, the pilot can choose to make a forced landing or parachute, but these two ways will cause serious damage or complete damage to the aircraft. With the integral parachute, the pilot has added a safer option, and the plane can parachute to the ground. It not only greatly improves the safety performance, but also protects the aircraft.
The RX1E-A extended range electric two seat aircraft made its first successful flight in November 2017. Relying on the technology platform of Ruixiang two seat electric aircraft, this aircraft has greatly increased the range and endurance of electric light sport aircraft by improving the energy density of lithium battery, improving the performance of electric power system, optimizing the structural design and other technical means, and the endurance capacity has increased from 45 minutes to 2 hours and 30 minutes, meeting the requirements of EU for the endurance capacity of electric light sport aircraft.
