The dream of inexpensive, ecofriendly aviation has come closer to reality after a french testpilot achieved the first flight in a conventional light aircraft powered by an electric motor on 23 December 2007. The aircraft is called Electra, is a single seater and flew for 48 minutes about a distance of 30 miles. The APAME group, founded to develop green aviation, used a Souricette kit aircraft and adapted to it a 25 hp electrical engine (same type as used in golf carts). More info here (in french) http://www.apame.eu/Projet03.html Here the latest developments of the Boeing Aircraft Corporation http://www.boeing.com/news/releases/2007/q1/070327e_nr.html$ Are we flying electric in 20 years from now?
