- Each passenger cabin is a Taurus G2 conjoined on a common wing holding the electric drive system.
- This team was unfortunately disqualified, and was the only hybrid electric actually at the competition.
- Most of the space is taken by the gas engine, used only for takeoff. The 40 kilowatt electric motor is underneath. Both connect to a shared drive-shaft going to the propeller.
- Portions of this aircraft are a Pipistrel G2, but the tail section is their design.
- It carries two passengers
- The tail arrangement is a carry-over from their earlier Hydrogenius fuel cell aircraft
- This entry was not completed in time, and was presented as a model of what they think they might eventually build.
- Designed by MHoxygen.com, this is meant to be attached to a sailplane just behind the bulkhead. For take-off it swings up and uses the electric motor to propel the airplane into the air, then swings down for flight.
- The MHOxygen take-off unit has a 12 kilowatt brushless electric motor and the pilot uses a joystick to cause the unit to deploy and then control the motors speed for takeoff.
