All technical work done according to the open source paragraph of the Lesser Open Bee License 1-3 is available within a dedicated IT server. Access is provide on request.
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.
