Pipistrel have just announced the worlds first electric motor glider. They expect to start delivering these in the fall of 2008. The glider will be able to climb 6000 feet on a full charge with two onboard.
Im already a lover of the Stemme 10VT motorglider, last flight in it we only did run the engine for about 15 minutes before doing a 400km flight in about 4.5 hours.
Check out my interactive panorma of the interior of the Stemme 10VT
