This is why I go to OSH. New stuff, innovation, cutting edge technology, bold new ideas brought to the aviation market.

Climbs to 6,000' on a single charge. Add some solar panels to the wings....who knows?

Someday, Vans may have an electric option.

Cool... but weren't these guys first to have a "production electric airplane"?

Maybe someday battery technology will be at a point where we can all have electric sport airplanes, not just motorgliders... not to mention, think what your car would look like!

That is just too cool! I did not know there was another one! Looks like the electric Pipistral is a knock off.
