Electric Aircraft Corporation is an American aircraft manufacturer that was founded by Randall Fishman, a retired New Jersey jeweler. The company is based in Cliffside Park, New Jersey and specializes in the design and manufacture of electric aircraft under the ElectraFlyer brand name.〔Bayerl, Robby; Martin Berkemeier; et al: ''World Directory of Leisure Aviation 2011-12'', page 45. WDLA UK, Lancaster UK, 2011. ISSN 1368-485X〕 The company's first product was the Electric Aircraft Corporation ElectraFlyer Trike, an ultralight trike powered by an in-house designed electric motor and battery pack. The company then started selling power train components to convert existing ultralights to electric power. The single-seat ElectraFlyer-C followed, using the same electric motor and a converted Monnett Moni motorglider airframe. The company is currently developing a new design intended for production, an all composite electric aircraft, the ElectraFlyer-X.〔 In 2008 Fishman won the August Raspet Memorial Award for his electric aircraft work. The award recognizes the "person who has made an outstanding contribution to the advancement of light aircraft design" each year. The late 2000s recession caused development of the company products to be delayed. In 2011 Fishman said, "The recession has made this not a great business right now. I have done okay because I have kept it small, selling a few complete trikes and many propulsion kits, meters and electronic controllers for people to modify their own ultralights."〔 The company has the rights to develop the electric powered version of the Airsport Song.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.songairplane.com/song-electric-/ )〕 == Aircraft == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Electric Aircraft Corporation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
