Airbus continues to push out ever-more outlandish proposals to see its concept of extended Minimum Crew Operations (eMCO), which is nothing more than a euphemism for single-pilot operations, become reality for widebody aircraft filled with passengers during cruise flight. The EAA Ray Aviation Scholarship program has been making a difference since 1963 for young people pursuing aviation careers and has recently passed a significant milestone, as 600 scholarship recipients have completed flight training and earned pilot certificates. Elektra Solar recently put the first aircraft from its Elektra Trainer Fixed-Gear (FG) family into service. The electric aircraft will be used to train students at the Lorenzen Flight School in Landshut, Germany. The Elektra Trainer has been flying since 2011 and is a member of the German ultralight class. It is a modified version of the company’s Elektra One, given a longer fuselage and reinforced wings. The aircraft has an impressive 25:1 glide ratio, 1969 fpm climb rate, and 75 mph cruise speed. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
