The aircraft is made from composite material, predominantly carbon fiber reinforced polymer. Its 38 ft (11.6 m) span wing has an area of 120 sq ft (11 m 2) and mounts flaps. The standard engine used is a 105 kW (141 hp) electric powerplant. The aircraft will have ten batteries giving it a four-hour endurance.
The plane is to be sold as an experimental kit aircraft that requires only a private pilot license. [15] In October 2020 with a $60 million investment in Joby Aviation, a business building an electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft intended to provide air cab service, Delta joined the list of airlines funding EV technology startups.
The Elektra One was built with support from Solar Hangar and Solar World. The business concept is to produce electricity for the aircraft from solar panel equipped hangars with excess energy fed back into the power grid. [3] PC-Aero Elektra One Tri Gear. The Elektra One has a four-hour endurance with onboard lithium batteries and solar panels. [4]

The Tangent EMG-5 (Electric Motor Glider Model 5) is a proposed single-place electric airplane designed to be certified in the US either as an FAR Part 103 compliant ultralight (no pilot's license needed in the US), as a motor glider (glider pilot license required in the US), or as an experimental amateur built airplane (private pilot license required in the US).
The aircraft replaces the Spyder's two-stroke engine with a Yuneec Power Drive 20 20 kW (27 hp) electric motor and two 28 lb (13 kg) Lithium polymer battery packs which provide a 40-minute endurance. The aircraft is intended to be developed into a commercially available kit and forecast to be available for under US$25,000. [7] [8] [9]
The aircraft features composite construction, a cantilever low-wing, a single-seat, enclosed cockpit under a bubble canopy, fixed tricycle landing gear with wheel pants and a single electric motor in tractor configuration. [1] [2] The Sun Flyer differed from the PC-Aero Elektra One by incorporating new landing gear, propeller and instruments.
The design was originally developed by Bye Aerospace subsidiary Aero Electric Aircraft Corporation (AEAC). [2] [3] Arion Aircraft of Shelbyville, Tennessee constructed the proof-of-concept prototype [4] and delivered it in March 2016. [5] The eFlyer 2 was first publicly introduced at the Centennial Airport in Colorado on 11 May 2016. [3]
