Success First Flight of Electric Planes

Electric aircraft successfully conduct the first flight and won the Green Flight CAFE Challenge held by NASA.
Elektra One developed by Calin Gologan it was first tested by the pilot Jon Karkow. Then for the first time on Wednesday (23 / 3), Elektra One, circling the air for thirty minutes. Plane with a single crew was flying as high as five hundred feet in the air. The flight was very quiet, because the role of the electric motor only spent half the battery 6 kwh.
According to PC-Aero, high-performance rechargeable batteries that provide endurance aircraft to fly more than three hours, a distance of more than 400 km, with a speed of 160 km / hour. Net weight of these electrical aircraft by 100 kg with a maximum weight of 300 kg can be accommodated.
The following week, Elektra One will get a propeller with a new variable and landing wheels that can be drawn. Additional equipment will provide better performance for electric airplanes.
Energy-efficient aircraft is expected to be commercially at a price less than € 100,000 or about twelve billion dollars.

Elektra One plane created by PC-Aero competed and won the Green Flight CAFE Challenge held NASA. The game aims to create an aircraft capable of flying as far as two hundred miles in less than two hours, using the energy equivalent of less than one gallon of gasoline per passenger. The aircraft is flying without the use of gasoline, one hundred percent use electricity, and recently the aircraft has been tried in Germany.
