Pipistrel-USA won NASA's Green Flight Challenge after its Taurus G4 electric airplane flew a 200 mile course in under 2 hours.
"Two years ago, the thought of flying 200 miles at 100 miles per hour in an electric aircraft was pure science fiction," Jack Langelaan, team leader of Team Pipistrel-USA.com, said in today's award announcement. "Now we are all looking forward to the future of electric aviation."
