Crowdfunding 'Flying to the Sun' raises more than 400,000 in 10 days
TEUGE, December 7, 2023 – Within 10 days of its launch, the 'Flying to the Sun' crowdfunding campaign of Hangaar van de Toekomst E-Deck and the world's first electric flight school E-Flight Academy has already raised over €400,000. This amount, which exceeds the minimum goal, confirms the strong interest in sustainable aviation. The maximum amount is set at €720,000, intended for further sustainability of the hangar and to raise global awareness.
First electric flight school
E-Flight Academy, the world's first electric flight school, is working in collaboration with E-Deck to develop the 'Hangar of the Future' at Teuge Airport. This project involves the installation of 530 solar panels and a large megabattery, making it possible to fly fully electric and on solar energy. Such a concept has not been implemented anywhere in the world on this scale. Once completed, it will be possible to charge both 10 electric cars and 4 electric airplanes on solar energy simultaneously.
Research and development
E-Flight Academy has been contributing to a greener aviation for 2.5 years with four electric aircraft that provide lessons year-round, resulting in no emissions and low noise. More than 10% of the flights at Teuge Airport were fully electric last year.
The E-Campus, located in the E-Deck hangar, focuses on promoting electric flying through collaboration with the electric aviation industry. The E-Deck also serves as a sustainable event venue by the runway, where visitors can experience the quiet takeoffs and landings of electric aircraft.
The goal is €720,000
The ultimate goal of the crowdfunding campaign is to raise €720,000. In collaboration with the platform CrowdAboutNow, the entrepreneurs have managed to collect an amount of €400,000 within 10 days. With a maximum of €720,000, they hope to take further steps in the sustainability of the Hangar of the Future. These investments will be used, among other things, for the installation of LED lighting, the purchase of efficient electric heating, the establishment of native planting, and the installation of acoustic panels in the E-Campus. And to further develop the concept and bring it to global attention.
