2025 Pipistrel Taurus Electro G2Light Sport Aircraft Aircraft

The 2025 Pipistrel Taurus Electro G2 represents a cutting-edge entry in the light sport aircraft category, offering a fully electric, self-launching glider experience with zero emissions. This brand-new aircraft features a 40 kW electric powertrain that enables shorter takeoff distances (360 m over 50' obstacle at MTOW) and a respectable 520 fpm climb rate, coupled with excellent gliding performance boasting a 41:1 best glide ratio. The side-by-side cockpit is designed for comfort with superb visibility, while the removable wingtips allow for reduced storage width of 39'10".

Key features include a state-of-the-art fly-by-wire powertrain management system with hybrid battery monitoring, a retractable 2-blade propeller, and an optional solar trailer capable of off-grid charging. Safety is enhanced with an included ballistic rescue system (GRS 6/473 SD or GRS 6/600 SD), and the aircraft is ADS-B equipped for modern airspace awareness. With a max takeoff weight of 1,212 lbs (550 kg) and a spacious cabin, the Taurus Electro G2 is positioned as an innovative, eco-conscious solution for adventure flying, particularly when paired with its solar charging companion for complete energy independence.
