Good days have arrived for electric aviation company Bye Aerospace, which has announced 60 Sun Flyer 2 electric airplanes have been sold to OSM Aviation. The company is also announcing a name switch from Sun Flyer to eFlyer.
And it’s off to a good start for the Sun Flyer 2 and its Siemens electric motor. The electric airplane (e-plane) successfully accomplished its first test flight with the new electric motor.
The future of electric aviation seems so far off and yet so very close that I think the only possible similarity would be to compare it to the electric vehicle (EV) rebirth of 2008. But just as back then, how many get the importance of electric aviation and its most urgent breakthroughs?
We’ve been covering the development of the Sun Flyer electric airplane (e-plane) for quite some time now, and we are happy to report that its successful maiden test flight has been completed at the Centennial Airport near Denver, Colorado.
The Sun Flyer 2 is taking its final steps toward the inaugural first flight of its electric two-seat low-wing airplane. After a few successful taxi tests, Bye Aerospace is readying the Sun Flyer 2 to take to the skies.
Bye Aerospace’s StratoAirNet prototype has successfully slapped solar cells on its unmanned aerial glider.
The two-seat electric airplane Sun Flyer announced that it added a couple of seats, and we can’t believe we missed it!
