Title: Pipistrel’s Four-seat, Side-by-side Electric Airplane
Post by: rcpilotacro on May 13, 2011, 11:16:35 AM
This unique design has come about by grafting two Pipistrel Taurus aircraft together with a center section which is some 5 meters (16 feet) wide and includes a center pylon housing the electric engine and batteries designed to successfully carry this aircraft to the skies

Zwilling was more of a austerity measure, making a plane out of two battle damaged plane, this one Taurus is Electric, a step closer to green travel.
