Flight Design F-2e
The Flight Design F2e is an electric version of the German light-sport F2, intended for short training and local flights. It replaces the usual piston engine with an electric motor and battery system, offering quiet operation and lower local emissions. Its early electric status makes it uncommon even within light aviation.
