There is now an eco-friendly way for the super rich to fly the friendly skies. The Yuneec electric sport airplane is a two seat aircraft that uses about $2 of fuel per hour of flight.
The Yuneec electric sport airplane won’t be for sale until 2011, but in addition to being an environmentally friendly way to fly, it is also quite low maintenance. It retails for $89,000 and we have a feeling that celebrity pilots who like to be perceived as green will be clamoring to own one.
