Hello, sunshine.
Last week, a two-seat, electric airplane made a round-trip flight between Fresno and Lodi, Calif., running on solar-power-charged batteries. Joe Oldham, president of New Vision Aviation, took off from Fresno in his Pipistrel Alpha Electro on July 20 and stopped at two airports—Modero and Modesto—to recharge before landing in Lodi, then turning around to complete the 220-mile flight.
“A few years ago, we were talking to the folks at Beam, and we said wouldn’t it be cool to use their solar-electric unit and charge the aircraft so we can leapfrog across the San Joaquin Valley?” Oldham told Robb Report. “So that’s what we did.”
