Something different.... +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Plug It In, Strap It On And Fly It Away By Jason Paur July 27, 2009 \| 5:02 pm OSHKOSH, Wisc. — Electric planes are getting a lot of buzz at the big AirVenture show in Oshkosh, and we’ve spotted our first one while walking around the grounds. Yuneec brought its sleek e430 to Oshkosh. It’s a light-sport aircraft with room for two and a 40 kilowatt (54 horsepower) electric motor. Power comes from a lithium-polymer battery pack the company says recharges in three hours at 240 volts. Yuneec says flight time ranges from 90 minutes to three hours depending upon how the plane is configured. The composite aircraft made its first test flight in June, and the Chinese company hopes to begin selling the plane next year for $89,000. As cool as the e430 is, the gadget we really want to try is E-Pac, the James Bond-esque electric backpack paramotor that Yuneec brought to the show. It’s basically a giant electric fan you strap to your back. Why? Why not! Check it out after the jump. Stay tuned for more about the electric revolution at Oshkosh this year. wired.com
