What is your role at the Red Bull Flugtag?
After the flight performances of the teams, it’s my turn to perform. I wait on the shore and bring each flying machine safely back to “dry land”.
What are your strengths?
With a reach of 25 metres and a lifting moment of 17.1 tonne-metres, I am one of the best in my category.
I'm also as quiet as a mouse. My colleagues are real chatterboxes and noisemakers, but you can hardly hear me at all when I'm working. That's why working with me is particularly pleasant.
Which of your skills are you especially proud of? Do you have any hidden talents?
I have a sophisticated electro-hydraulic drive system that consists of a battery and an electric motor. This system gives me the necessary power.
Where do you prefer to work?
I am a welcome guest wherever I go. Because of the High-Performance Stability Control (HPSC) system, I am fully operational even when space is limited.
Thanks to my special type of drive (eDrive), my possible places of use are diverse. I work extremely quietly and can therefore be put into operation early in the morning or late in the evening without hesitation. I can also work near schools, hospitals or in public areas without attracting attention due to loud noises.
By the way: Equipped with the lighting package, I provide optimal lighting conditions even at night.
What’s your motto in life?
Go green! I am extremely efficient, especially in the eDrive version. Whenever I'm in operation, I utilise the energy my batteries provide. On the way to my next job, I recharge them.
