NOS REGION – A HUB FOR ELECTRIC AVIATION

It’s clear that such successes won’t be repeated indefinitely. This is one of the reasons why Young SilentWings provides junior pilots with a thorough introduction to electric gliding. By equipping the “Marabu” electric glider for flight and conducting further supervised training sessions at various airfields, the program is working to seriously foster the next generation of pilots. It’s no easy task to entice young people from different areas to spend half a day at the airfield. Nevertheless, those in charge are staying the course. The NOS’s e-flight experts can be contacted for technical questions.
