Title: Big electric beaver
Post by greghatt on Jun 11th, 2024 at 3:02pm
Greetings from Vancouver everyone. As some of you know, I got hired this year at harbour air, the largest seaplane operator in Canada. Though you guys might enjoy this. I've been spending some time with our full size electric beaver! It's an in house conversion, with a 650hp motor driven from 800vdc! Yes that's a lot of cells. It gets converted to about 400vac to drive the liquid cooled motor. We have a full flying version, and the other pic is a mock up they will be taking to oshkosh this year. Hope you enjoy the pics! There is some video on youtube of it flying.

Cheers
Greg
