Built and tested in Germany, the manufacturers hope to evolve the prototype into a retractable LSA for export to the US. (Can they do that?) It is a long stretch from the demonstrated 30 minutes to the target 3 hour endurance, and I'll be impressed if they can hit the target price quoted in this article.
