eJetyak is the ideal platform where basic Jetyak utility and performance are required but where internal combustion engines are either impractical or unfeasible. It shares many of the advantages of the 4-stroke Jetyak, but can be deployed in areas where gas-powered watercraft are either prohibited, or where engine noise emission profiles would interfere with data collection.
Retains the same hull construction, modularity, mass, overall dimensions, propulsion of a standard Jetyak
Maintenance-free brushless DC electric drive
High-performance / high-Capacity Li-ion Battery & Charging System
Two-stage active cooling loop for motor (stator) and speed control (ESC)
Zero emission operation & zero risk of oil or fuel contamination into study area
Same as Standard Jetyak: UV stabilized rotomolded high density polyethylene; 3-piece design for ease of transport; all cabling from main to tail sections via waterproof connectors.
Capable of carrying the same payloads as a Standard Jetyak, as well as special-missions payload options.
Same as Standard Jetyak
