Tom Leite of Portugal’s Eurosport Aircraft shares this first test flight video for his firm’s Crossover, a Light Sport Aircraft that can extend its wings to become a sailplane, or bring them in to become a cruiser. Its twin motors can be tucked into the sides of the aircraft, its retractable gear allows further slimming, and its multiply-slatted Fowler-type flaps allow quick takeoffs and slow landings. This type of advanced thinking is complimented by the craft’s electric power – perhaps a sign of things to come in the light aircraft arena.
From its Facebook following, the Crossover seems to attract crowds wherever it goes.
