Press releaseIssued by GioCAS / e-Go aeroplanes.

e-Go aeroplanes is delighted to announce the handover of the first production aircraft. A launch event recently took place at the company's premises in Conington, celebrating the hand-over of e-Go aeroplanes' first production aircraft to its first customer.

Some 70 guests gathered to witness and toast this important milestone in the company's history. They were treated to a stunning display by test pilot, Keith Denison, who demonstrated the aircraft's impressive maneuverability.

William Burnett, owner of the latest e-Go (registration G-OEGO), showed his delight by saying, 'I come from a background of flying a variety of aircraft, including a Vulcan many years ago, but there is really nothing that compares with this aircraft. It's such fun.'

Malcolm Bird, e-Go aeroplanes' chairman, who has also flown the prototype aircraft, said 'Everyone who flies this aeroplane has enjoyed the experience', continuing, 'there is nothing quite like flying a single seater.'

e-Go aeroplanes now move into serial production of this 'fun flying machine'.
