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.
Starting at € 60,000, the E-VOLUTION time-sharing model offers unique opportunities to use top aircraft at different locations at low cost.
Time-Sharing partners become silent partners in an E-VOLUTION holding company for 24 months. At the end of the contract period, the TIME SHARING partners receive their capital back.
Time Sharing Partners receive flight- time for their capital. With standard market charter fees, the “interest rate” is more than 8.0 % p.a.
An Arcus M and a RISEN will be available in 2025, and a JS 5 from 2026.
Three E-VOLUTION are planned for 2028. The locations will be Germany & South France in summer and South Africa, Namibia & New Zealand in winter.
E-VOLUTION GmbH organizes the time-sharing system and covers the annual maintenance costs. The time-sharing partners do not pay any maintenance costs.
