UG-2 Bullfinch

UG-2-bottom-turn-ski-more-light
UG-2 second prototype of Pie Aeronefs

The UG-2 Bouvreuil will be the first genuinely practical battery-electric aircraft. With performance similar to traditional aircraft such as the Cessna 152 and Piper Warrior, it is capable of completing all standard missions expected of light civil aviation at a fraction of the cost per flight hour. The $100 burger will cost $100 again!

This aircraft will be available as a carbon fiber kit. It will be ready for manufacture from 2024, after the first flight of our prototype. Pre-orders are available with a 5% deposit.

Specificities

This kit includes everything needed to build and fly a UG-2 Puffin, including all powertrain and battery system components, carbon composite laminates, and wood and aluminum components. Parts are roughed close to final dimensions to allow for final adjustment.
