Two of the electric aircraft produced by Yuneec International, a Chinese company, will now be produced and sold by a new American company called GreenWing International.
Yuneec will continue to develop electric motors and power systems, according to the company’s news release.
GWI will now sell the single-seat ESpyder ultralight and the two-seat E430, and will also provide support for the fleet. The ESpyder and E430 aircraft were the leading projects at Yuneec and according to the company they are nearing completion, with the ESpyder (pictured) having earned its German DULV certification in February 2013 – initial production for the aircraft is expected soon.
GWI will bring several eSpyder aircraft for ground display at this year’s AirVenture at Oshkosh, and will fly the aircraft daily from the runway in the ultralight area.
