e-Go aeroplanes were awarded the Team Bronze medal by the Royal Aeronautical Society earlier this year in such company as the European Space Agency’s Rosetta Stone Team and The Beagle 2 Mars Mission Engineering Team.
e-Go Chairman Terry Holloway said: "e-Go is a truly wonderful aeroplane, and the team who designed and developed it have high hopes for its future. All those who have flown e-Go have praised its superb handling and amazing performance, as well as its exceptionally low running costs, which are less than £15 per hour - a fraction of the costs associated with other aircraft. e-Go is also a design icon which turns heads wherever it appears, and this year air show audiences have been wowed by the aerobatic sequences flown by the company's Chief Test Pilot, Keith Dennison."
Keith Dennison commented: "Compared with most General Aviation aircraft out there, this aircraft has very spritely handling. It does really snap around in the sky and as a complete package is such fun to fly. It’s like having wings strapped to your shoulders and is probably one of the most exciting light aircraft I’ve ever flown."
The company now seeks an individual or organisation to consolidate and develop other variants of the aeroplane for which we anticipate there will be strong international demand.
To secure the long term future of this incredible aeroplane, the Board of e-Go aeroplanes Limited would like to meet with interested parties who in the first instance should contact: Rich Clabon, Chief Operating Officer on +44 (0)1954 268 189 or [email protected]
About e-Go aeroplanes
Operating to the north of Cambridge, e-Go aeroplanes is manufacturing the striking, new, very lightweight e-Go aircraft. It will cost dramatically less to fly than traditional aircraft and is a product for discerning pilots who relish new experiences. It uses novel technologies for performance yet achieves a low cost of development and operation by exploiting the newly deregulated environment in the UK.
The single-seat e-Go design has evolved from the winning design in the high-tech category of a competition run in 2007 by the Light Aircraft Association. This was to encourage innovation after the Civil Aviation Authority deregulated the very light end of general aviation aircraft construction.
Around 60 per cent of the UK’s estimated 60,000 pilots fly light aircraft for enjoyment. In the main, those aircraft have their roots in designs that are more than 40 years old and have become increasingly expensive to operate. e-Go costs just £15 per hour to fly.
