From the Green Car Congress: PC-Aero, a German aircraft design, engineering and consulting company for general and business aviation, in December 2010 successfully performed the static tests on the 1-seat Elektra One prototype electric powered aircraft for German Ultralight Certification.
The structure of the aircraft (wing, fuselage and tails) was loaded up to limit load.
In November 2010, PC-Aero performed the rollout of the electric airplane with running engine. This event took place at the Rotortec company in Görisried/Germany, where the aircraft is being prepared for first flight, which is scheduled for this month.
Elektra One, intended to be the first member of an electric aircraft family, was presented for the first time at the AERO 2010, The Global Show for General Aviation, in Friedrichshafen/Germany.
