Developed in the design office of the Shenyang Aerospace University light sport aircraft RX1E can fly for 45-60 minutes at a maximum speed of 120 kilometers per hour and an hour and a half charge.

In the creation of environmentally friendly vehicles, which lasted two and a half years, also attended the Academy of General purpose Liaoning aircraft. The first samples were transferred to the use of the domestic civil aviation. At the end of last year RX1E received a certificate of airworthiness in China Civil Aviation Administration.

Already four aircraft ready for use, even 20 - plan to produce by the end of 2016. As forecast in the Academy of General purpose Liaoning Aviation, in 2017 the plant will work with 100 aircraft per year. According to the developers, RX1E can be used for training pilots, rescue operations, meteorological observations and aerial excursions.




The advantage lies in the absence of electric harmful atmospheric emissions as well as a relatively simple construction and low cost. "This is an environmentally friendly, quiet and light aircraft," - noted developers, emphasizing that it was most difficult to make the aircraft easier

. At the moment, experts are trying to increase the flight time of the electric two-seater aircraft to the 1, 5-2 hours and develop the four-seater "green" model.

Developers are hoping that RX1E win the domestic market. The cost of electric aircraft is 163 000 dollars.

According to the forecast, the development of general aviation will accelerate during the 13th Five-Year Plan 2016-2020. By the end of 2020, China will be more than 5,000 universal general aviation aircraft in more than 500 airports.
