Pipistrel is now completely under the Textron umbrella, now a part of the brand's collection of aviation marques.
The brand gives Textron a great way to break into the burgeoning electric aircraft market, with a solid range of offerings for business, training, or personal use. specifically in flight training and general aviation. In the meantime, ANN has reviewed a copy of a lawsuit filed by Michael Coates' Pipistrel-USA operation--formerly the North American distributor, alleging a number of transgressions reportedly committed by Pipistrel HQ. The aviation collection acquired by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen has reportedly sold in its entirety by his estate to the grandson of Walmart founder Sam Walton. Allen's death almost 4 years ago had placed the collection's status in doubt, held at the Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum in Everett, Washington. The philanthropist's large assortment of vintage equipment has been sold off by the Allen estate. Eviation Aircraft and Cape Air have announced a Letter of Intent (LOI) for the purchase of 75 all-electric Alice commuter aircraft. With this engagement, Cape
Air aims to set up a regional electric fleet. Eviation's all-electric Alice aircraft may eventually accommodate nine passengers and two crew. Cape Air flies more than 400 regional flights a day to nearly 40 cities in the Northeast, Midwest, Montana and the Caribbean. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
