The Seraph (Concept)

Conceptual image of the Seraph airplane. The IKE Aerospace team, based in California, is led by Ira Munn. Their aircraft is called the Seraph. The Seraph will incorporate blended wing body, lift body, and biomimicry in its design. It will use monocoque construction to reduce structural weight and ducted propellers for propulsion efficiency and noise reduction. The Seraph will be powered by twin turbine generated electric engines turning counter-rotating propellers. IKE Aerospace is currently registered and has met the FAA inspection.
