Microturbo has specifically designed the e-APU to meet the highest requirements of «more-electric» and «all-electric» new-generation aircraft, helicopters and UAVs.
The technologies and architecture retained for this new APU significantly optimize its performance and efficiency. Covering a wide range of power ratings, from 20 to 120 kVA, the e-APU family offers significant benefits, in particular the best power-to-weight ratio and dimensions in its category, reduced fuel consumption and improved endurance and reliability, which also mean a very competitive cost of ownership.
With its versatile gearbox, the e-APU can be adapted to different power configurations and electrical systems.
The gearbox can accommodate a wide range of DC or AC starter generators, particularly 28, 115 and 270 VAC units.
Through customized design, the e-APU gearbox is capable of simultaneously driving any starter generator and alternator combination.
The e-APU has impressively low pollution and noise emission levels, which are below current requirements and anticipate future standards.
EASA / FAA civil certification 1st semester 2013: TSO-C77b/CS-APU category 1 for essential use.
