This is a proof of concept experimental hybrid aircraft. A Rotax engine in the nose drives an electric generator to charge batteries in the wings and a tail mounted electric motor. There are options for a pure electric aircraft or one powered by a fuel cell, the Rotax powered one having a range of up to 800km carrying four passengers. All are quiet and efficient
