Sponsors could see their campaign really take off with support for Black Kestrel's leading edge aircraft project

Black Kestrel is a project to develop and build an electric powered aircraft.

The project has three phases. The first phase is to develop a new type of non-fuel burning electrical generator that will provide the main power for the aircraft's electric motors.

The next phase will be to convert a conventional small to medium sized propped aircraft, such as a Piper PA32 Lance, by removing its existing piston engine and replacing it with a single, brushless, high speed electric motor and reduction transmission.

Once the aircraft has been certified by the CAA to fly it will undertake several test flights; when these have been completed the aircraft will fly on a round-the-world tour to show the practicality and endurance of electric powered aircraft and the electrical generators.

The third phase is to design and build a new airframe. This aircraft will be built for high speed and high altitude cruise and will be powered by several high speed electric fans. It will also, once built and tested, fly on a world tour. Black Kestrel is looking for several large or small sponsors for this project.

Sponsors will have their brand and logo displayed on the side of the aircraft's fuselage, as well as on the Black Kestrel website's home page, Sponsors page and Twitter page.

The Black Kestrel website has a large audience and following around the world - any sponsor who has their brand and logo on the Black Kestrel website or aircraft's fuselage would have a truly global audience. For more information please visite the Black Kestrel website.
