The Pipistrel line of aircraft have a deserved rep for efficiency and speed on low fuel flows. AVweb's Paul Bertorelli traveled to Slovenia to fly the Virus SW and here's his video report. It has stunning in-flight clips of Slovenia's mountainous terrain.

Great Video. Good job Paul. Looked like a bumpy morning there.

this is the future, molded composites (AKA glider) with an engine! In my radio controlled sailplane, we have 2 settings, one is called Camber (used to optimize slower speed when in thermals) and Reflex (-5 UP ailerons on the Pipistrel, which is used to increase speed when in sink with minimal altitude loss). The Relex setting allows faster flying with having to pitch down for speed.

I like the fuel burn they get and I definitely love the lines. Great lookin' airplane.

Amazing aircraft! I imagine this one with the new Rotax engine! Should be a cross-country aircraft, specially in Europe. Perfect!

Amazing low fuel burn! I live in Denver, and I get nervous during turbulence, but if it's safe for a plane as small and light as this, then I suppose a much larger commercial aircraft would not be a problem.

beautiful aircraft. seems like any glider pilot's dream plane. is it considered a powered glider or is it just based off of gliders?

These reviews are great! You should really invest in a new GoPro camera for scenery like this

220 km/h is 120 kt, not 140.

Wonder if the new small turbine engines could fit? Imagine cruising at 200 knots instead of 140. I would imagine the composite frame could handle it well. Maybe use wheelcovers to gain that extra efficiency on fuel.

So, the Germans had their finger in this too? Well...all the better. Check out D-motor and EDM Aerotec CoAX 2D. While at it, check Flygfabriken Seagull.
