Electric Aircraft Synchronus Goat First Flight

- This is the First Flight of the Synchronus Goat, the result of a LOT of work over the span of 10 years, much of the work was making/designing the Synchronus electric propulsion system.
The flight went well, the altitude gain was 384 ft, the maximum climb rate was 510 ft/min at full Power. The aircraft can maintain level flight with about 5 to 6kw of power at speed of 40km/h.
The flight was done on Dezmir (Traian Darjan) Airfield, there ware present many flight instructors and pilots, including my flight instructor, an inspector from Romanian Airclub Authority and the second Commander of the Airfield. - Věda a technologie
Camera footage shows extremely stable flight. I imagine it's a very calm day weatherwise
Excellent aircraft and performance. This really shows the capability of using electricity as a source of power. Endurance is now the requirement.
70 minutes.That’s pretty good
That's a practicle time!
Great job! That airframe looks like one of the Sandlin designs.
Beautiful!
Been looking forward to seeing this, I really like the cable braced Goat... Part way through building my own but with a 160cm pusher prop running around the tail boom.
Well done man, you got it done and in the air :)
Brilliant - nice work. Happy flying.
Fabulous! That looked beautiful and fun.
Well done! Amazing achievement. So smooth on take off.
Fantastic 👍
Looks great up there.
Cheers
Other than my paraglider, that is my dream aircraft. Beautiful!

JUST BRILLIANT.💗
Well Done, sir!
Excellent landing. Electric flying is the way to go. 10/9/2022yr
Gongrats!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Excellent pilot and a perfect landing. 3/11/2023yr
nice!
Hi, do you know if there are Goat Plans in Metric available?
I would like to build on, but it's all in sizes and norms we don't have in Europe.
Awesome flight!
Can you share the details of the electric setup, please? If 5 or 6 kW is enough for level flight then what was the power used during take-off? Prop diameter and pitch? If so, multiple thanks!
Also building an electric Goat (possibly with twin Turnigy setup) here in flat Finland
Hy, please send me an email, i'l respond there, i have a predefinde answer to every body that asks for specks, it is easier to answer that way.
hope u can show progress of building the goat
@@synchronus9836 hi there, I would love to get your specs sheet as I work on putting back in the air a bunch of old Weedhoppers. I m seriously thinking of converting one of them to electric power. With a weight of 55kg (without engine) I think it s doable. How do you feel about this idea ?
@@SojoGliderFan the propulsion system has 43kg, 20Kw motor, 4,884Kwh lipo battery, plus controller display and other accesories. At 20Kw with a 3 blade 1,3m prop (Helix) motor pulls about 90kg. The Goat needs about 6 to 7kw to maintain level flight at 40-43km/h with a wing of 18sqm (12m span) and a takeoff weight of 240kgs. A Weedhopper, night need more that that (power and speed) because it has smaller wing area.
@@synchronus9836 thank you for the information. Actually, it might work out as my wing is 16m2 but my total take off weight in that configuration would only be 203 kg. With my other Weedhopper, an all original US model from 1979, it would be even better as the total weight would then be only 137 kg. Now with the batteries you have, how much time can you spend up in the air ?
Just Wow !! I would like to buy this motor. Say the model number of this motor.
Cool, i want one lol
How's sitting in that prop wash, uncomfortable?
Is this considered a class 2 hang glider?
Hi.. Please? A question? How long is the wing?? How wide is it?? Is there a blueprint for the two-wheeled cart?? We wish you the best of times
12m span and 3" wider than original goat4. I have a few drawings for 2 main wheels design.
@@synchronus9836 Can you give me the drawings of the two wheels only?? Thank you from the land of Iraq
Very nice …. Do you have a BRS or reserve chute ?
BRS is way to heavy, A hand deployed hang glider style chute is the right choice for my application, in the future.
@@synchronus9836 I considered that for my Superfloater but it already had a BRS. The GOAT I have has a HG chute
What is flight duration?
What is your propeller size?
Please answer
What is the power draw to keep propeller spinning, and not act like airbrake, when gliding ?
Somewhere around 0.3Kw...ish current reading for power under 1kw is not very acurate.
Please join my group, we'd love to hear all about it. It's precisely what I'm starting to build, an electric tractor Goat
Hy, please send me an email, i'l respond there, i have a predefinde answer to every body that asks for specks, it is easier to answer that way. And we'll talk there.
@@synchronus9836 sure, no problem!
So, how has the performance been over the summer so far.
Cheers
hy, well... i have not flown much, mainly because i had to fix some problems witch are not necesarly related to the electric propulsion, like radio interference and transponder installation. Since my plane is registered and i fly in class C airspace (1,6 km from the international airport LRCL), i have to have radio comms, transponder mode C minimum, ELT or PLB, and insurance, just like any GA aircraft (like a cessna). So yes.... a lot of trouble before being able to fly.
@@synchronus9836 hello sir love from India🇮🇳. I have a question . How do you power your 16kw electric motor. Because I didn't see any battery in your aircraft.
@@anshi_ad battery is located behind the seat.
What size motor and prop?
1,3m helix 3 blade, motor 22kw, 7.7kg.
May i know the type of electric motor
20kw brushless motor
