Technology

To achieve the objective of carbon-neutral aviation, Pie Aeronefs relies on the development of critical technologies designed to mitigate the limitations of current battery systems. We have developed an innovative method to mount the battery inside our wing for structural benefits. We have similarly conceived  an ultra-effective active high lift system which will be showcased in our prototype: the UG-2.

Proprietary lightweight fire-protective material

The innovative approach of our design includes a cutting-edge material to reduce the risk of battery fires in flight.

Improved range performance

We have obtained a sensible improvement in the range performance of our aircraft by designing an original airframe optimized to sustain the batteries weight.

Electric motor

Powerful from low RPMs, quiet and cost-efficient, an electric motor does not require heating time or need to rotate when waiting on aerodromes. This considerably reduces environmental and noise impacts.

Wing battery pack

The energy storage is located in the wings. Developed to measure, our batteries are efficient and durable. Surrounded by aerospace grade fire-resistant materials, we guarantee occupant safety.
