The Airboxer is High Eye’s largest and most advanced helicopter, using the latest technologies and unprecedented features.
On paper and in real life, it outperforms everything in its class.
From the onset, it
has been designed for customers on the international market. Durability,
certification and ease of use have been key components in its design process.
Vastly increased between-overhaul periods and extremely high reliability make it
an attractive and versatile system for the commercial user. It is currently in
an advanced development state of technical refinement and testing.
DESIGN KEY POINTS
- Safe endurance above 5 hours
- Petrol and heavy fuel options
- Electric autonomy
- Multi-engine safety
- Multi redundant sensors
- General bad weather resistance
- Light icing protection
- Fully certifiable for class 2 operations
- Certified according to CS-LURS
- TBO = 1000 hours or higher
- Fits in a small van without disassembly
RELIABLE ENGINE
The Airboxer uses a lightweight, air-cooled, opposed two-cylinder, two-stroke combustion engine. It is manufactured in Germany and supplied with a guaranteed lifespan of at least 1000 operational hours. In its basic configuration it is driven by a two-stroke petrol/oil mixture, but it can also be supplied as a heavy fuel version. For improved safety and operational flexibility several aircraft grade systems are used next to the engine. Two separate ignition systems provide dual redundancy. The carburettor can be heated to prevent the formation of ice. The cylinder head temperatures are monitored to control the flow of the coolant air automatically.
MULTI ENGINE
Despite the outstandingly good service record of the main engine, the need for redundancy has led High Eye to come up with a an out-of-the-box solution. Using modern technology, a multi-engine solution is created through the use of a compact and lightweight brushless motor. This back-up engine is mounted on top of the main propulsion system and powers the rotors in the case of a single engine failure. A back-up battery provides power to the electrical engine and allows sustained flight for several minutes.
CONSTRUCTION
A large carbon fibre monocoque fuselage will
be used, which engulfs all internal systems and supports the frame and tail
rotor. The propulsion systems and flight controls are attached to the main
frame, which is built up of two large carbon fibre plates and several aluminium
supports. A large aluminium fuel tank is mounted centrally in the frame.
An IP67 EMC shielded aluminium box protects all vital electronics from
electromagnetic interference and water ingestion. It contains everything from
the autopilot up to the transmitting and receiving unit.
FLIGHT CONTROLS
All flight controls have been designed to
provide a high degree of reliability and very long lifespans, through the use of
simple and robust constructions. The Airboxer uses a total of 7 high voltage
Volz servo actuators to complete the flight control system.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The combustion engine drives a
brushless generator, which provides all on-board systems with 28.0, 12.0 and 7.4
V electrical power via the power management unit. A backup battery provides
electrical power in case of emergency. The entire system has been designed to
resist water ingestion and EMC interference through the use of shielded cables
and military grade connectors.
