Created for the electric plane challenge. The idea behind this plane was to imagine a civilian/research plane to be used in a remote area where aviation fuel may be scarce but some form of electric power is around. Built to be easy to fly, 2 engines for safety, pusher and tractor style in a single fuselage to reduce drag, and the air intakes to provide extra cooling for the motors and power packs in hotter weather. Able to fit a detachable payload for assorted functions.
