Archaeopteryx e-drive Gen 3.1 With a new motor we have increased the endurance of the new Gen3 electric drive on our microlift glider Archaeopteryx even further. Often we are asked about its calm-air performance that can be achieved. That's how it looks: Standard with two battery packs (2 x 1.5 kWh): full throttle climb 1850 m, distance in horizontal flight 85 km, flight time 1:05 h. With range extender (for light pilots, three battery packs): 2800 m full throttle climb, 130 km horizontal flight
