Electrical and H2 Ultralight Aircrafts.

A new concept has come to the ultralight community: the electrical driven aircraft. So far all electric and H2 hydrogen fuel cell related stuff will be put together in this group. You will also find arthicles about this subject here and related stuff as well as associations supporting this new concept.
