TIME-SHARING MODEL – the alternative to own a glider
The high acquisition costs of modern high-performance aircraft are hardly affordable for many aviation enthusiasts. The annual maintenance costs mean additional time and financial burdens. Many people have less and less time to make intensive use of their own aircraft.
Starting at €60,000, the E-VOLUTION time-sharing model offers unique opportunities to use top aircraft cost-effectively at various locations in Europe and South Africa / Namibia.
If required, experienced pilots are available on site for instruction, as co-pilots, trainers, or safety pilots (PIC).
An Arcus M will be available in 2025 and a JS 5 starting in 2026.
Two E-VOLUTION are expected from 2028 / 2029.
Time Sharing Partners receive flight access rights for their capital.
Assuming standard market charter fees, the “interest rate” is more than 8.0% p.a.
E-VOLUTION GmbH organizes the time-sharing system with partners and assumes the annual maintenance costs.
The time-sharing partners do not bear any maintenance costs.
