Back in 2009 at the annual AirVenture at Oshkosh, Yuneec Aircraft showed the world a feasible electric two-seater light sport aircraft. Now Yuneec is back as a fully-fledged aircraft maker called GreenWing.

Yuneec, based just north of Shanghai, China, will continue to focus on developing the most advanced and most reliable technologies for electric motors and power systems. GreenWing International (GWI) will now handle production of the eSpyder and e430 electric aircraft.

“GreenWing International is a new company created to specialize in the emerging electric aviation market," announced GreenWing International CEO, Tian Yu. Mr Yu is also the boss of Yuneec.

"We are proud to announce that GWI has been created to market the eSpyder and e430 aircraft, and bring the revolution of electric flight to the global general aviation market."

Since the first flights of its electric powered planes in 2009, Yuneec has been advancing its electric propulsion technologies, and all GWI aircraft will be powered by Yuneec electric propulsion systems.

GreenWing will be bringing several eSpyder aircraft to the AirVenture 2013 event in July for ground and flight display. The single-seat eSpyder is nearing completion for initial production runs after undergoing extensive development and flight testing during the past year. Daily flying demos of the eSpyder are also planned during AirVenture at the Ultralight Area runway.
