Supported by the Conseil Général de Savoie (the Savoie area’s local council), Solar Event is the first international edition dedicated to solar energy taking place near by the lake of Le Bourget. From June 27th to 29th , LISA Airplanes will open its temporary assembly hall to visitors and will allow them to discover the first stage of the Hy-Bird project including solar cells integration provided by Trina Solar.

For an exclusive tour in our showroom presenting the human, ecological and technological project, LISA Airplanes’ team waits for you at its booth situated in “Coin des Inventeurs” (inventors’ corner).

At the beginning of next year, one of the first steps will be to operate a clean flight with the Hy-Bird-E, the electrical version of Hy-Bird, which will be equipped by solar cells, batteries and an electrical engine.

But from now, we invite you to visit us at Solar Event and to jump into the world of sustainable mobility.

In rotation with the famous « Paris Air Show », Air and Space Museum inaugurated the first edition of Green Aviation Show at Le Bourget airport from June 20th to 22nd. This meeting underlines the 21st century will have to consider environment as a major aviation development criterion.

With Hy-Bird, LISA Airplanes provides an alternative solution to fuel power and becomes involved in a real sustainable mobility approach. Solar energy and hydrogen should lead to a cleaner light aviation and will drive the first Hy-Bird round-the-world’s steps of feasability.

LISA Airplanes exhibited the Hy-Bird model at booth #142 and shared its ambition to become a major leader of green aviation.

VIDEO OF THE AKOYA'S FIRST FLIGHT : Welcome on board !

A flight which follows a two months of intensive tests campaign. This summer, a series of short flights at low altitude validated taxi, take-off, landing, roll out, engine air cooling and flight controls efficiency. This August 22nd, the test pilot considered that the AKOYA was ready to make a complete cycle: take-off, steady flight, landing.

The flight lasted more than 15 minutes and the AKOYA flew a course between lake and mountains, closed to LISA Airplanes facilities. The prototype A of the AKOYA is fitted with computers recording almost 40 parameters in real time (speed, attitude, temperatures, control surfaces position…).

Gerald Ducoin is part of the R&D team since the beginning of the AKOYA’s design. Plane and helicopter pilot from the age of 18, flight and aerobatics instructor, he is qualified as test pilot for light aircraft by the EPNER (Flight Tests and Acceptance Pilots School). He logged more than 3500 flying hours on 50 aircraft types, from the ultralight to the Alpha Jet. “This maiden flight confirmed the very healthy general behaviour of the AKOYA. Of course, we must continue to open the flight envelope but these first results give me a great confidence on the expected performances of the AKOYA. I felt a great satisfaction to fly this very innovative aircraft” he declared.

The Akoya has rolled for the first time on May the 31st. An encouraging step for the first fly !
