My last post about small electric cars showed different innovations in electric urban vehicles. This also counts for electric airplanes. There has been a huge leap forward in batteries, battery management and (brushless) electro engines for airplanes. This makes it possible to design and produce (clean) aircrafts with an already impressive range.
In this post a small overview of different producers, from DIY to scientific ‘around the world’ project, from glider to James Bond gadget.
