E430 - Electric-Powered Aircraft from Yuneec
Yuneec offers a two-seat electric-powered aircraft, the e430. And the best part, it will be ready to buy next year(2011)! If the company delivers on its promise, this electrically powered plane could change the world, costing just two dollars per hour to power its flight. Priced around $89,000.
"Electric flight, once seen as futuristic, has arrived and with E430’s flight times of between 1.5 and 3 hours (depending on configuration) electric flight now becomes a realistic power source for sport aviation. Charging times of 3 hours for as little as $5 make electric a really low cost way to fly and with only 2 main moving parts in the motor (the bearings) the reliability and maintenance are like nothing seen before."
