Yuneec International - E430 Electric Aircraft, China

Nominated for the Brit Insurance Transport Award 2010

Designed and manufactured by Yuneec International

While electric cars are becoming a common sight on the streets of our cities, electric aircraft are not yet publicly available. With the development of the E430, Yuneec hope to change that. The E430 is a twin seat, single engine, light sport aircraft designed to be simple to use, easy to fly and produce zero emissions.

For a cost as low as £5, a three hour charge can power the E430 for up to three hours. As with other types of electric propulsion, the E430’s engine has only two moving parts making maintenance simple and cost effective whilst improving reliability. The engine produces almost no noise and minimal vibration helping to improve the enjoyment of piloting the aircraft and making it more accessible to the novice.

    I heard that you did some of the flight testing here at the Camarillo airport in California. If you are going to return here, would you like to speak about this new technology to our R.C. flying club http://www.cicondors.com
    All of my R.C. planes including a 105 inch DeHaviland Tiger Moth are powered by lipo batteries and outrunner motors.
    Great product and we wish you all the success!

    Will you or others be making the powerplants and accessories available to builders who would like to design and build their own aircraft. I would love to do a classic biplane…great lift and lots of fun!

    If you can make one that can seat 4+ more people it could become an extremely cheap carrier connecting smaller Islands in the UK such as in Scotland, Ireland and the South East. Set up an E-flyer airline and you could take on British rail. Amazing work, amazing aircraft BTW.

    (I want one of those E-PACs for my paraglider - how much?)
