The ‘electric sky jeep’, based on a Zenith CH750, has been under construction for the past three years but on Friday, January 20, successfully took to the air at Old Buckenham Airfield, in south Norfolk.
The test flight is a significant step forward for the project and means any tweaks can now be made to speed up the production process, step up the trials and eventually see the plane take to the skies in life saving missions.
This summer students at the Norwich International Aviation Academy (IAA) will get the chance to build the first ever British electric light aircraft.
