Electric plane flies 200 miles in 2 hours; wins $1.35 million

In the quest to design more efficient aircraft, the CAFE Foundation organizes an annual contest called the Green Flight Challenge. This year the goal was to make an electric plane that could fly 200 miles in less than two hours, using the equivalent of less than one gallon of fuel per passenger. The winners from Team Pipistrel managed to complete the course using just over half that amount.
