The final product of the WATTsUP Project is a market- and production-ready electrical powered airplane of LSA class: WATTsUP.

 

The main project activities will:

  • Evolve existent WATTsUP PROTOTYPE to industrial readiness, resulting in fully functional and cost-effective LSA, accompanied with documentation and training information system (interactive training system + flight school management system).
  • Prepare WAATsUP for commercialization.
  • Develop production processes, enabling Pipistrel to enter into mass production of WATTsUP.
  • Certificate WATTsUP in our initial target-markets.
  • Decide on the feasibility and type of IPR protection.
  • Disseminate project results.
