As it is, even the longer span craft fits into Light Sport Aircraft territory, with its creators saying, \u201cThe light weight airplane combines characteristics of an ultralight and a glider, making it unique.\u201d Its 297 kilogram (654 pound) empty weight is less than that of an early Piper Cub, but its long wings allow a best glide ratio of 44 to 1. It can cruise at 200 kilometers per hour (124 mph) at a low throttle setting, making it possible to exploit its batteries to their fullest extent in full electric or hybrid mode.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Eurosportaircraft Crossover AERO 2014\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/b8UvYDb5JsA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The video helps highlight the roomy cockpit, ease of entry and elegant extras like the electrically-adjustable rudder pedals and ultra-thin, pad-based instrumentation.
