As technology evolves for electric cars, it seems the airplane is not too far behind. A new Chinese-built electric model can last 2.5 hours in the air.George Delozier at Inventor Spot.com reports:
"Small, personally owned aircraft are becoming more common throughout the world. Not only are they becoming increasing easy to fly, but they also are becoming less expensive to operate and maintain. A perfect example of this can be seen with the Yuneec E430 all electric airframe set to go on sale next year. Upon its release, the E430 will be the first commercially available plug-in aircraft. From completely depleted, the lithium polymer battery stack can be charged in 3 hours on a standard 230 volt outlet. A full charge provides up to 2.5 hours in the air. The E430 is 52 foot wide at the wings and uses a 54 horsepower electric motor to stay in the air." See full article.
