Hypstair 200 kW serial hybrid electric powertrain. First power up.

This is a great achievement. Congratulations to the Pipistrel team on being the leaders of the future of aviation. Now if you could teach Cessna a lesson on innovation. They are still making airplanes with technology dating back to WW2 with magnetos, carburetors, and manual fuel/air mixtures and prop pitch control! You need 6 hands and 4 pilots to keep up all while avoiding getting killed.

That's because cessna is the greatest provider of aircraft for drug smugglers. Everything is disposable to them.

Bluesky, what do you think the contingent risks are with an early stage technology first regulator approval aircraft and when do you think a hybrid or 100% elec aircraft will be approved for public transport.

Dear Pipistrel Team, Congratulations from EAS Germany for this achievement and we hope for a future successful cooperation. The hybrid electric drive train will be a game changer in small and medium sized airplane. That is what we think. All the best and much success, Michael

I love it. To think I couldn't fall in love with the Panthera any further. Congrats Pipistrel. Your US customers are anxiously waiting :)

I wonder if the motor (sensorless BLDC?) can be run in reverse when landing to effectively have a thrust reverser!

[@johncarr123]

wow this is huge achievement. Please make this powerplant affordable

[@jeanurlacher]

Fantastic! So impatien tto see it running with two wings! Congrats to all the team !

[@michaelfrance7354]

More Please! I am excited to see more progress

[@FlyingMike]

Fantastic news and a great achievement !

[@peterxyz3541]

You got my attention!!!

[@flexairz]

Good alternative in the 4 place and higher market, but it hugely complex and safety might be compromised. I like the development! Try to keep it as simple as possible.

[@kbeco]

Excellent. This is a future.

[@pauljames1682]

Series hybrid is not the main feature, SAFETY is.

200 kw is a bit much for and ultra light
