Two Full Days Of Programs In The California Wine Country

The 6th Annual CAFE Electric Aircraft Symposium will be held April 27, 28, 2012 at the Flamingo Resort & Spa in Santa Rosa, California. EAS VI has again confirmed an outstanding faculty that will include the winner of the Green Flight Challenge, debut of the first electric LSAs, breakthroughs from leading battery makers, the world electric speed record and the latest on prop and wheel motors, controllers, UAV flight and ultra-quiet lift-off. This meeting’s focus will be on the best hardware. CAFE also will debut the Green Flight Challenge II at EAS VI.

The first day of the Symposium will feature opening remarks at breakfast from CAFE Foundation President Brien Seeley, which will segue into a discussion of the lessons learned from the Green Flight Challenge. Other Friday sessions will include a mid-morning presentation from the FAA on licensing of Electric Aircraft, and an overview of Green Flight Challenge II at lunch, again from Brien Seeley.

The Saturday sessions will begin with a keynote speech from Dr. Winfried Wilcke, Chairman of the IBM Research Lab, on Advancing the Lithium-Air Battery for EVs. Saturday afternoon will feature CAFE Electric Flight Demonstration at STS, including GFC Team Feuling’s
eQuickie, Team IKE Aerospace’s Seraph, Team GSE’s Hybrid Pusher and others.

The CAFE Foundation creates and advances the understanding of personal aircraft technologies through research, analysis, and education.
