Yuneec Viva
Yuneec's new electric two-seat motor glider, the Viva

CHINA'S electric aircraft maker, Yuneec, has launched two self-launching motorgliders at Oshkosh, the two-seat Viva and single-seat Apis.

Both designs were bought from German designer Martin Wezel and then equipped with Yuneec's electric motor and battery system.

This increases the range of aircraft being developed for production by Yuneec to four - the E430 two-seat Light Sport Aircraft and eSpyder microlight are the original two. One new feature for the e430 is removable wing tips, reducing the aircraft wingspan to 38 feet and making it easier to put into a hangar. allowing it to fit into a T-hangar.
