2.) New - Taurus Electro G2

naslovna
Taurus Electro is the only electric 2-seat aeroplane in serial production available on the market. The new Taurus Electro G2 in not just an improved version of the prototype, but completely re-thought, re-designed and implemented with revolutionary new solutions! It is the production version and represents a great step up from the prototype. The aircraft now has much better reliability, handling and performance.
For the first time electric power outperforms its gasoline-powered counterpart – the Taurus. Taurus Electro G2 can use a shorter runway, climbs faster and it performs much better than the gasoline-powered version when it comes to high altitude operations. All this is possible thanks to the specially-developed emission-free Pipistrel's 40kW electric power-train.

Find out more about Taurus Electro G2.

Pipistrel developed the patent pending Solar Trailer(R), which can charge-up the electric-powered 2-seat Taurus Electro G2 in as little as 5 hours absolutely free of charge and with zero emissions! Furthermore, when the Taurus Electro G2 is stored in the trailer during the week of bad weather, it will still be charged and ready to fly by the weekend. The Solar Trailer and Taurus Electro G2 are perfect companions and demonstrate how it is possible to fly free of charge, quietly and with absolutely zero emissions, with today's technology!
