e-Go aeroplanes is seeking a buyer

Press releaseIssued by GioCAS / e-Go aeroplanes.

Having successfully completed flight trials with its prototype aircraft, and delivered the first production aircraft, e-Go aeroplanes is seeking a buyer for the company to carry the business forward with the development of the three and five-seater versions of its striking single-seat aircraft.

e-Go aeroplanes were awarded the Team Bronze medal by the Royal Aeronautical Society earlier this year in such company as the European Space Agency's Rosetta Stone Team and The Beagle 2 Mars Mission Engineering Team.

e-Go Chairman Terry Holloway said: "e-Go is a truly wonderful aeroplane, and the team who designed and developed it have high hopes for its future. All those who have flown e-Go have praised its superb handling and amazing performance, as well as its exceptionally low running costs, which are less than £15 per hour - a fraction of the costs associated with other aircraft. e-Go is also a design icon which turns heads wherever it appears, and this year air show audiences have been wowed by the aerobatic sequences flown by the company's Chief Test Pilot, Keith Dennison."

Keith Dennison commented: "Compared with most General Aviation aircraft out there, this aircraft has very spritely handling. It does really snap around in the sky and as a complete package is such fun to fly. It's like having wings strapped to your shoulders and is probably one of the most exciting light aircraft I've ever flown".

The company now seeks an individual or organisation to consolidate and develop other variants of the aeroplane for which we anticipate there will be strong international demand. To secure the long term future of this incredible aeroplane, the Board of e-Go aeroplanes Limited would like to meet with interested parties who in the first instance should contact: Rich Clabon, Chief Operating Officer.
