After arriving on August 17 to be displayed at the BC Aviation Museum's open house, Harbour Air's "eBeaver" made its second point-to-point flight from YYJ on its way back to YVR, also becoming the first electric plane to takeoff from Victoria!
The aircraft was driven across Victoria Int'l Airport on beaching gear, crossed West Saanich Road, and launched into Patricia Bay before taking to the skies at around 7:00 PM yesterday.
A huge thanks to the Harbour Air crew for the exceptionally close pass on the way out!

Another great video of the ePlane in action, I can't wait to get to see this thing in person. That 180 looks great too! Awesome low takeoff pass.

👍exciting times. an electric float plane who would have thought.

I love how you can hear the 180 over the e plane during the fly bye... Just shows how much quieter it is then the norm 😀

@nybotor1 2 года назад

Certainly! I think some of the noise of the ePlane wasn't just prop noise, but from the air over the wings.

Neat catch!

Is this aircraft too heavy for the mover to control without assistance from the pickup truck?

@markstevens1729 Месяц назад

Too bad the ICE plane was alongside making the sound of the ePlane difficult to distinguish. Short-hop/regional electric flight, just like similar range EV’s for commercial transport will hopefully make a big contribution to our environmental salvation.

How much fly time out of change

@michaeldavid3000 2 года назад

30 minute flight I believe

@nybotor1 2 года назад

For the journey here, it was a 25 minute flight, and they landed with 45% battery life.

@CliffClover 2 года назад

A 3O min flight under battery is increased to 3 hours by adding Jet A or AV Gas.

What the hell is that pushing it and why does it need help, not a very good tug

@nybotor1 2 года назад

The beaching gear? Extra precautions were taken when bringing it down the ramp, because the ePlane weighs much more than a regular Beaver.

@paulstepp7554 Год назад

Since the OP didn't answer your question, I will. It's a 1980's Oldsmobile Toronado cut in half and rednecked into an improvised tug. More useful than that electric power source will likely be.

Most current tugs are based on pickup trucks, but this is based on an old front-wheel-drive GM car. This was normally done with the Toronado/Eldorado which had big-block V8 engines. This one appears to be a 1979-1986 Toronado.

@werta5000 Год назад

ok what redneck hell is happening with the plane tug

@brianb-p6586 27 дней назад

It's a 1979-1985 Oldsmobile Toronado, cut off and extended forward to carry the aircraft. This was common when these cars were plentiful, but pickup trucks (4X4 converted to drive only the original front axle) are used now. The Toronado (and Eldorado) of this era was used because it was a heavy car with a large V8 engine and substantial Turbo-Hydramatic (TH-325) transaxle.
