e-Genius sets seven world records for purely electric powered aircraft!
Congratulations to Professor Voit-Nitschmann and his team of the University of Stuttgart for setting several world records in electrically powered flight. With e-Genius they have once again demonstrated to have built the most capable electrically powered aircraft which currently is out there.
After the successes in the NASA Green flight Challenge in 2011 and the Green Speed Cup in 2013, where the previous and now improved world record for the furthest flight of an electrically powered aircraft was set, the team has yet again demonstrated the outstanding capabilities of e-Genius.
On July 15th and 19th in Serres (France) Pilot Klaus Ohlmann flew e-Genius to the following word records:
| Rekorde: | |
| Geschwindigkeit über eine 100-km-Ziel-Rückkehrstrecke | 178,1 km/h |
| Geschwindigkeit über eine 500-km-Ziel-Rückkehrsstrecken | 93,03 km/h |
| Größte Strecke | 504 km |
| absolute Höhe | 6376 m |
| Steigzeit auf 6000 m | 1:53 h |
| Größte Flughöhe (für mehr als 0 s) | 6350 m |
| Größte Geschwindigkeit über eine gerade Strecke von 15 km | 229,7 km/h |
