TIME-SHARING MODEL – the alternative to own a glider

For many gliding enthusiasts, the high costs of modern high-performance gliders are hardly affordable. The annual maintenance needs additional time and financial resources. Many people have less time to use their own aircraft intensively.

The E-VOLUTION TIME-SHARING model offers unique and fascinating opportunities to fly top-of-the-range aircraft cost-effectively and efficiently at various locations worldwide.

Planned locations include Europe, South Africa, Namibia, and North and South America.

TIME-SHARING partners become shareholders in an E-VOLUTION TIME-SHARING company. The term of the investment is unlimited. The return on the capital invested is exclusive flight rights per year. The number of days depends on the amount of investment capital and the type of aircraft. The investment can be sold to third parties.

TIME-SHARING partners can exercise their flight rights on all E-VOLUTION TIME-SHARING aircraft.

E-VOLUTION GmbH organizes the TIME-SHARING model and covers the annual maintenance costs.

TIME-SHARING partners do not bear any maintenance costs.

Available aircraft: Risen (UL) and Arcus M, Ventus 3EP from 2027, E-VOLUTION from 2029

Simply book the aircraft type, location, and time online: arrive, board, fly, and enjoy!
