Are oil marks close to engine bay door normal?
发动机舱附近有机油油渍是否正常?
Yes, the Taurus 503’s engine runs on fuel/oil
pre-mix which contains 2% of oil. When the engine runs on full power (tipical
for take off and climb) small amounts of fuel/oil mixture escape the
carburettor through the filters and through the exhaust. It deposits on the
nearby fuselage structure, close to the engine bay door. The fuel evaporates,
however the oil remains in form of small localized stains which pose no hazard
to the surface, structure or flight safety. This is a completely normal
phenomenon.
正常，Taurus 503的发动机采用的是机油预混合方式，其中含2%的机油。当发动机运转时，少量的燃料与机油混合物会通过过滤装置和排气装置逃离汽化器。沉积在机身附近上，或发动机舱附近。然而燃油容易蒸发，但是机油会对局部产生污点，不会对表面、结构或飞行安全造成危害。这是一个完全正常的现象。
What is the battery endurance and life:
电池的续航时间和寿命
Basic pack endurance: one climb to 1200 m (4000
ft), with optional pack 2000 m (7000 ft). Overall battery life: 2000 charge
cycles until 85% capacity, however there is a limit of about 12 years on the
battery chemistry. This means you it will *probably* be necessary to replace
the batteries after 12 years, even if you do not use the aircraft a lot. As of
now, nobody is really sure about this as the technology is really new – in
reality this may be extended 15 years or more, depending how you use the
batteries.
一组电池基本能力:一次爬升到1200米(4000英尺)，也可选装2000米(7000英尺)的电池组。电池的整体寿命:2000次充电周期，但是电池的化学性能有12年的限制。这意味着即使你不使用飞机可能在12后也需要更换电池,然而这是一个全新技术，所以到目前为止，还没有人真正的知道是否需要更换——而事实上电池是可以延长至15年或者更久,这取决于你怎么使用电池。
Is the battery removable for
charging?
电池可以拆下充电吗?
Yes, the battery comes in form of 2 packs (basic version) or 4 packs
(optional). Each can be removed, although the charging does not require
removing the packs out of the fuselage. In other words, you can charge the
packs inside the aircraft or outside on a separate charger.
可以，电池以两组(基本版)或4组(可选装)的形式出现。充电是不需要从机身上拆卸下来再充电的，但是每组都是可以拆卸的。所以说你是可以在飞机内部或外部的充电器上充电。
Charging time?
电池需要充多久？
With basic two battery packs the charge about 2
hours (on a normal 240 V household socket), with four packs the time is about
3.5 hours. Charging times are quoted for a fully depleated battery.
基本款两组电池需充2小时(正常240伏特的家用插座)，4组电池需充3.5小时。充电时间是以一个完全耗尽的电池的充电时间作为标准。
What is special about the
Taurus Electro’s systems?
Taurus的电子系统有什么独特之处?
All batteries and the complete system is managed
in the background ALL THE TIME. This means that everything happens
automatically without pilot’s intervention. This includes battery management
(ballancing), charging/discharging, temperature compensation, cell bridging,
system monitoring. We expect to bump-up the power to 40 kW for take-off and
then permit 30 kW for the rest of the climb.
所有的电池系统全部在后台管理完成。无需飞行员的干预，一切全智能化操作。包括电池管理，充电/放电，温度补偿，电池芯链接，系统监控。在起飞阶段，预计功率将增加到40千瓦，其后以30千瓦运行使飞机达到最佳爬升率 。
