e-flight lectures AERO 2009 in cooperation with e-flight-expo will host several
 seminars and lectures on e-flight. The e-topics stand for electrical, 
ecological & evolutionary in aviation. 
The following lectures have been registered: 
 
• e-flight reality: Eric Raymond, USA – on his Sunseeker. 
When weather permitting he will fly his solar powered electric 
sailplane on a daily basis. So far he has accumulated more than 
500 hours including the flight time during a cross country across the USA in 21 legs. 
• battery technology: Christian Kussmann of qpunkt company, 
Austria – e-drive and e-flight: Battery and accumulator technology yesterday, 
today and tomorrow. 
• hydrogenius project:  Len Schumann of the University of Stuttgart, 
Germany – on their hydrogen powered motorglider, 
a joint venture with the Slovenian airplane manufacturer Pipistrel.
• electric engines for e-flight with paragliders Hang Gliders and light other gliders:
 Dr. Werner Eck, Germany – a lecture by one of the 
most experienced developer of new light weight powerful electric 
engines used in a fast growing number of paraplanes, powered hanggliders, 
trikes and ultralight fixed wings.
• hydrogen ultralight: Gérard Thevenot of Helite, France – on his hydrogen 
fuel cell trike that flies purely on hydrogen without battery support – a world’s first! 
• the Green Village Airfield concept: Calin Gologan, Germany – on his zero emission light 
sport aircraft powered by ecological electricity generated on the air field. 
• battery challenge: Michael Friend, USA – on the needs and demands of future battery 
and accumulator technology.  
 
One other interesting symposium 
is hosted by the AERO Conference:
• aviation fuel alternatives: on invitation by the German 
Aviation Press Club and the Swiss Federation of Aviation Journalists – 
a talk show and symposium with renowned participants.
