Title: First quad electric engine aerobatic airplane
Post by: rcpilotacro on January 25, 2011, 03:56:37 PM
Airbus, caught the attention of the aviation world because of its latest four-engine aircraft. Unveiled at the Green Aviation Show in Paris this week, the airplane is one-seater that is claimed to have a flight time of up to 30 minutes. Based on the tiny twin engine Cri-Cri airplane developed by Michael Colomban in France during the 1970s, it is the first electric-powered, fully aerobatic four engine airplane. The electric Cri-Cri incorporates features like four brushless electric motors with counter rotating propellers and lithium batteries.

Sounds like a giant scale RC, except for the real man (Beg your pardon, Person) inside.
