Bee-Plane TRL 2

Projet and tasks are achieved according to Lesser Open Bee License 1.3
TRL 2 starts in 2013. It is planned to have a 2 years duration.

Bee-Plane TRL 1 : Aeronautical configuration to be studied in details is resulting from TRL1.

Guidelines

Basket

Basket is design to be optimum for passengers frequent flight, then it is adapted to other usage (fret, hospitals...)

Basket with three pressure bubbles, Internal structure adapted to 3-3-3 seats configuration

Central luguage area for passenger basket (220 PAX full eco, 200 PAX in 2 classes), Only 1 central large main door for passengers on each side.

Basket with APU on the back, 4 electric directional wheels, additional fuel tanks in the basket

Bee-Plane Passenger Floor Plan

Hospital basket

Bee

Flat surface bellow bee

New configuration : No pilot in the bee

2 turbopropeller TP400 bellow main wings, 1 central turbofan on the back.

Variable inlet casing for rear turbofan, diameter of the turbofan = 1m.

Landing Gears and wings

Bi-taildragger configuration

Opposite "U" shape rear wings

Main landing gear with external rotation. Wheels goes behind Turboprop engines.
