industrial controllers – MGM COMPRO https://mgm-compro.com Fri, 17 May 2024 13:01:49 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://mgm-compro.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/cropped-favicon-32x32.png industrial controllers – MGM COMPRO https://mgm-compro.com 32 32 Cooperation with Airbus Group https://mgm-compro.com/cooperation-with-airbus-group/ Sun, 21 Jun 2015 09:31:11 +0000 http://mgm-compro.com/?p=1613 What did Airbus came up with? 

This project is an evolution of the Cri-Cri electric plane, which was used by Airbus to test batteries and management technologies.

The E-Fan can proudly display its all-composite construction, which is 6.7 m long and has a wingspan of 9.5 m. If you look at this plane, you can’t overlook two jet engines, which are powered by 2 electric motors giving a total power of 60 kW.

The engines are powered by a series of 250 V Li-Pol batteries. They are ready to provide a range of one-hour flight and can be recharged in the same time. For a safety reasons there is also a backup battery to enable emergency landings.

MGM COMPRO industrial controllers are a part of E-FADEC energy management system, which is a crucial technology to operate the whole electrical system. This key technology automatically handles electrical systems of the aircraft.

We believe that our cooperation will help to come up with another great achievements!

]]> Project U-15 Phoenix Progress https://mgm-compro.com/project-u-15-phoenix/ Tue, 29 Jul 2014 06:37:43 +0000 http://mgm-compro.com/?p=1539 The project of the fully electric airplane of the Czech design engineer and pilot Martin Stepanek started in 2011. There were 3 years of intensive development and modifications, which resulted in a worldwide success. At the final stage of this process MGM COMPRO was asked to play a very important role in the field of electric drive to help the project to speed up the start of its first long-distance flight.

Industrial controller HBC 280120 and electric motor Rotex Electric (REX series), which are set in the U-15 Phoenix as a matter of fact finalizes the whole project. Therefore were Martin and his team ready to realize their 6-day flight around the Czech Republic.

The batteries provide the aircraft with approx. 1 hour flight at the cruise speed of 120 kph. The same time is needed to recharge them so the plane has to regularly stop along its journey.

U-15 Phoenix basic technical data:

  • Length 6,5m
  • Wingspan 14,5m
  • Weight 300 kg (batteries 34 kg)
  • Cruise speed 120 kph

PHOENIX AIR ACHIEVEMENTS

Martin Stepanek is not a freshman in the field of construction of ultra light aircrafts. His company Phoenix Air won the third place in the competition called Green Flight Challenge organized by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) three years ago! This was really an impressive success!

We wish Martin and his team all the best for the future! MGM COMPRO is always keen on being part of such a project, which moves forward with electric driven aviation.
