ELECTRIC CAR - 'THE ROADIE'

Hughes Engineering's desire to contribute to solutions in the areas of climate change has resulted in our development of what we hope will be Australia's first production all-Australian-Designed, three seat, electric motor vehicle.

The ‘Roadie' will carry two people plus one or two children in the small rear seats at speeds of up to 100 km's per hour over distances, that we hope will extend as far as 200 km's.

Australian LightWing SPEED Range - Features

 

 

 

 

 

 

Welcome to the Australian LightWing Features page. On this page, you will find information on the CAN Glass Cockpit System (Computer Aided Navigation), the VIP Propellor (Variable Inflight Pitch), the LightWing Powerplant options and the SP6000.

Glass Cockpit ~ Computer Aided Navigation

Safety has always been a primary concern to Australian LightWing which has dictated the selection and use of materials. With the high tech navigation, the SPEED Range intergrates the latest in navigational systems used in the realm of passenger and commercial airliners, now available to the recreational pilot in the form of our own CAN.

With Computer Aided Navigation - You CAN do anything! Australian LightWing's CAN System represents one of the greatest advances in flight management this decade. Previously available only to the worlds largest commercial jet airliners, Australian LightWing now presents computer-aided navigation to the recreational pilot at an affordable price.

The Hughes Group CAN help you custom design the perfect Glass Cockpit for your flying needs.

   

What does the CAN system consist of?

The CAN system consists of an onboard but compact PC, coupled to a digital gyro and a daylight readable LCD touch screen.

The software and hardware come in three packages. Firstly, the digital E-Gyro software, Secondly, Mountain Scope which interprets data from the GPS and the digital gyro to provide both flat maps and a windshield view of the world outside the aircraft, and finally flat mapping navigation program ‘Fugawi’ which stores and provides the pilot with a full range of digital charts and maps.

The CAN system runs in two modes, with a switch alternating between the two and the touch screen enabling the software programs to operate.

It is not possible to operate both programs at the one time, although whilst running Mountain Scope a Fugawi map can be brought up on the screen using standard Windows format (both these programs are Windows based).
