The future of flight, today. Experience unparalleled aerodynamic innovation.
Stall is very smooth.
Cuts energy use by 30%+, ideal for electric flight.
Scalable from drones to large aircraft for diverse applications.
PrandtlPlane® significantly cuts emissions by applying the concept of the Best Wing System (BWS).
This results from aerodynamics by Prandtl (1924) states that among all the possible lifting systems, one exists minimizing the induced drag. The benefit vs the best monoplane increase as increase the gap-to-span ratio (h/b).
Lower energy use, ready to go electric.
Lower drag means less power to fly, therefore higher endurance.
The unique aerodynamic characteristic of PrandtlPlane’s box wing system consists in its natural smooth stall behavior, making the airplane less sensitive to maneuvering errors. The two counter rotating elevators on both wings allow controlling the airplane by a pure pitching moment, with an enhanced precision in maneuvering. On the front wing of this airplane there is a fowler flap, contributing to lowering the stall speed.
The planing hull has been designed both by CFD simulations and test carried out at CNR-INSEAN institute of Rome.
The position of the step (redan) and all its design parameters (axial position, thickness, shape) has been optimized by finding the trade-off between take-off performances, pilot’s view and pilot’s comfort.
IDINTOS can take off and land on the ground and from water. No limits to your flight experience!
Gasoline or Full Electric propulsion are both possible. Electric performances assume 250 Wh/kg energy density.
