Aero-News Quote of the Day

“This is a key milestone in the path to making a very good airplane a great airplane. The ONE Aviation team has worked hard to achieve this key milestone for the EA700 proof-of-concept wing.”

Source: ONE Aviation Boss, Alan Klapmeier, following the successful first flight of experimental test aircraft N990NE -- this aircraft was modified to test the new wing shape being used for the EA700 model currently in development. This aircraft still sports the E500 fuselage, engines, and stabilizers, but has had the wing modified to match the shape expected of the EA700 wing. Changes to the wing include the overall 4-foot increase in wingspan and reshaping of the inboard wing airfoils and platform.
