With these new records, the e-Genius has demonstrated that electrically powered aircraft can not only be efficient, but also fast. This research aircraft was developed and built at the University of Stuttgart and advanced by a team led by Prof. Andreas Strohmayer, Jonas Lay, Andreas Bender, Alexander Albrecht. It was designed specifically to achieve efficient electric flight. The engine of the aircraft is installed in the tail, and it is this design feature that has helped it break records. For the two FAI world record attempts in the electric aircraft category, the e-Genius team was able to recruit Klaus Ohlmann - a world-renowned record-breaking pilot who traveled especially from France. The team aimed to break the current records for speed and distance with two long flights.
